• Receipt of any mRNA vaccine in the 60 days preceding any study intervention administration or planned receipt of any mRNA vaccine in the 60 days following any study intervention administration
• Previous vaccination against RSV with an investigational vaccine
• Receipt of immune globulins, blood, or blood-derived products in the past 3 months
• Receipt of oral or injectable antibiotic therapy within 72 hours prior to the first blood draw
• Participation at the time of study enrollment (or in the 4 weeks preceding the first study intervention administration) or planned participation during the present study period in another clinical study investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or medical procedure
• Deprived of freedom by an administrative or court order, or in an emergency setting, or hospitalized involuntarily
• Self-reported or documented human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) detected by any FDA-approved/validated test, hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatits B core antibodies (HBcAb), or hepatitis C virus antibodies (HCV Abs), or positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR or antigen test
