* Participant has a tattoo overlying the location of injection or an underlying skin disease or condition (e.g., infection, inflammation, dermatitis, eczema, drug rash, drug allergy, psoriasis, food allergy, urticaria) that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with interpretation of injection site reactions or administration of study intervention.
