5. Acute infectious and non-infectious diseases, exacerbation of chronic diseases at screening or less than 14 days before screening.
6. Body temperature measured in the armpit ≥ 37.0°C at Visits 0 and 1.
7. The history of chronic diseases that are significant in the opinion of the investigator (for example, malignant neoplasms, blood diseases, autoimmune diseases, immunodeficiencies, etc.).
8. The history of meningococcal infection.
9. Contact with a person with the confirmed infection caused by N. meningitidis less than 2 months before screening.
