Exclusion Criteria:

- History of or active immunodeficiency or immuno-suppression caused by acquired or congenital diseases or caused by treatments such as chronic administration (> 14 days) of systemic, i.e. parenteral or oral, corticosteroids (> 5 mg prednisone [or equivalent] per day), radiation or immune-modifying drugs.

- Clinically significant mental disorder not adequately controlled by medical treatment.

- History of chronic alcohol abuse (40 g/day, e.g. 3 glasses of beer or 2 glasses of wine for at least six months) and/or intravenous drug abuse (within the last six months). Subjects with a history of other substance and/or alcohol abuse are also excluded if - in the opinion of the investigator - the abuse could prevent the subject from complying with study requirements.

- History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by IMVAMUNE® or any component of the vaccine, e.g. tris(hydroxymethyl)-amino methane, chicken embryo fibroblast proteins, aminoglycosides (gentamycin).

- History of anaphylactic shock or any severe allergic reaction to a vaccine requiring immediate treatment.

- Subjects undergoing treatment for tuberculosis infection or disease.

- Having received any vaccinations or planned vaccinations with a live vaccine within 30 days prior to or after study vaccination.

- Having received any vaccinations or planned vaccinations with a killed vaccine within 14 days prior to or after study vaccination.

- Administration or planned administration of immuno-globulins and/or any blood products during a period starting from three months prior to administration of the vaccine and ending at study conclusion.

- Use of any investigational or non-registered drug or vaccine other than the study vaccine within 30 days preceding the first dose of the study vaccine or planned administration of such a drug during the study period.

- Temperature = 100.4°F (38.0°C) at the time of enrollment.

- Any condition which might interfere with study objectives or would limit the subject's ability to complete the study in the opinion of the investigator.

- Study personnel.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Related Serious Adverse Events Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) probably, possibly or definitely related to the trial vaccine within 8 weeks
Secondary Unsolicited Non-serious AEs: Intensity Occurrence of unsolicited non-serious AEs by Intensity within 29 days after any vaccination
Secondary Unsolicited Non-serious AEs: Relationship to Vaccination Occurrence of unsolicited non-serious AEs by relationship to study vaccine within 29 days after any vaccination
Secondary Related Grade >=3 Adverse Events Incidence of any Grade >=3 Adverse Events probably, possibly or definitely related to the trial vaccine. Pooled solicited (general) and unsolicited AEs within 29 days after any vaccination
Secondary Cardiac Signs or Symptoms Incidence, relationship and intensity of any cardiac sign or symptom indicating a case of myo-/pericarditis (AESI). AESIs were defined as any cardiac symptoms and ECG changes determined to be clinically significant or cardiac enzymes elevated above 2 x upper limit of normal range (ULN). within 32 weeks
Secondary Solicited Local Adverse Events Incidence and intensity of solicited local AEs (pain, erythema, swelling, induration, and pruritus). Percentages based on subjects with at least one completed diary card. within 8 days after any vaccination
Secondary Solicited General Adverse Events Incidence of solicited general AEs (body temperature increased, headache, myalgia, chills, nausea, and fatigue): Intensity and relationship tovaccination. Percentages based on subjects with at least one completed diary card. within 8 days after any vaccination
Secondary ELISA Response Rate Response rate based on vaccinia-specific Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Response is defined as the appearance of antibody titers = detection limit (50) for initially seronegative subjects, or an increase of the antibody titer compared to Baseline titer for initially seropositive subjects. Individual peak response rate is based on the maximum post-Baseline antibody titer within 8 weeks (end of active trial phase). Percentages based on number of subjects with data available. within 32 weeks
Secondary ELISA Seroconversion Rate Seroconversion rate based on vaccinia-specific Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Seroconversion is defined as the appearance of antibody titers = detection limit (50) for initially seronegative subjects, or a doubling or more of the antibody titer compared to Baseline titer for initially seropositive subjects. Individual peak seroconversion rate is based on the maximum post-Baseline antibody titer within 8 weeks (end of active trial phase). Percentages based on number of subjects with data available. within 32 weeks
Secondary ELISA GMT Geometric Mean Titers (GMT) based on vaccinia-specific Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Individual peak is defined as the maximum post-Baseline antibody titer within 8 weeks (end of active trial phase). Titers below the detection limit are included with a value of '1'. within 32 weeks
Secondary PRNT Response Rate Response rate based on vaccinia-specific Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT). Response is defined as the appearance of antibody titers = detection limit (15) for initially seronegative subjects, or an increase of the antibody titer compared to Baseline titer for initially seropositive subjects. Individual peak response rate is based on the maximum post-Baseline antibody titer within 8 weeks (end of active trial phase). Percentages based on number of subjects with data available. within 32 weeks
Secondary PRNT Seroconversion Rate Seroconversion rate based on vaccinia-specific Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT). Seroconversion is defined as the appearance of antibody titers = detection limit (15) for initially seronegative subjects, or a doubling or more of the antibody titer compared to Baseline titer for initially seropositive subjects. Individual peak seroconversion rate is based on the maximum post-Baseline antibody titer within 8 weeks (end of active trial phase). Percentages based on number of subjects with data available. within 32 weeks
Secondary PRNT GMT Geometric Mean Titers (GMT) based on vaccinia-specific Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT).
