• has a negative pregnancy test on the day of study intervention administration, and

• has agreed to continue adequate contraception for at least 1 month after study intervention administration.

Exclusion Criteria:

Medical conditions

• Acute or chronic clinically significant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic or renal functional abnormality, as determined by physical examination or review of the participant's medical record.

• Any clinically significant* hematological coagulation or urine analysis laboratory abnormality.

• The investigator should use his/her clinical judgement to decide which abnormalities are clinically significant.

• Current or past malignancy, unless completely resolved without sequelae for >5 years.

• Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, including HIV infection, based on medical history and physical examination (no laboratory testing required).

• History of any reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the study intervention (including latex, poly-ethylene-glycol, egg protein and aminoglycoside antibiotics).

• Recurrent history or uncontrolled neurological disorders or seizures, including Guillain-Barré syndrome and Bell's palsy, with the exception of febrile seizures during childhood.

• Any medical condition that in the judgment of the investigator would make intramuscular injection unsafe.

• Any other clinical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might pose additional risk to the participant due to participation in the study.

• Significant exposure to persons with influenza or laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 within 7 days prior to Visit 1 (Day 1) and for whom a SARS-CoV-2 PCR test has not (yet) been confirmed as negative.

Prior/Concomitant therapy

• Administration of seasonal influenza vaccine within 180 days before enrollment or planned administration up to Visit 4 (Day 29).

• Administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol in the period starting 28 days before the study intervention administration, or planned administration within 28 days after the study intervention administration*, with the exception of vaccines authorized or approved for the prevention of COVID-19 (regardless of the type of vaccine).

*In case emergency mass vaccination for an unforeseen public health threat is organized by public health authorities outside the routine immunization program, the time period described above can be reduced to 7 days, if necessary, for that mass vaccination vaccine, provided it is used according to the local governmental recommendations and that the Sponsor is notified accordingly.

• Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug, vaccine or invasive medical device) other than the study intervention during the period beginning 30 days before the study intervention administration, or their planned use during the study period.
