• Positive serology for HIV-1 or HIV-2, or HCV antibodies.
• Platelet count <150,000/mm3.
• Positive urine drug screen.
• History of aspiration, dysphagia, swallowing disorders, stroke or other neurologic conditions that may predispose the subject to aspiration of test articles into the respiratory tract.
• History of Bell's palsy.
• Cancer or treatment for cancer, within 3 years. Subjects with a history of cancer who are disease-free without treatment for 3 years or more are eligible. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or (SCC) are allowed, unless present on or near the nose.

• Receipt or planned administration of a nonstudy vaccine within 30 days before the study, including licensed influenza vaccines and prior to the Day 60 telephone contact. Immunization on an emergency basis with Tetanus Toxoids Adsorbed for adult use (Td or Tdap) up to 8 days before or at least 8 days after a dose of study vaccine will be allowed. Administration of study vaccine can be delayed if a nonstudy vaccine has been administered and will be given as soon as acceptable, as described above.
• Known allergy to any vaccine component, including eggs, egg products, or thimerosal.
• History of allergic and/or anaphylactic type reaction to injected vaccines or to any of the components of NB-1008 [soybean oil, dehydrated alcohol (anhydrous ethanol), polysorbate (Tween 80) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC)].
• History of drug or chemical abuse in the year before the study.
• Receipt of any investigational product or nonregistered drug within the 30 days before study entry or currently enrolled in any investigational drug study or intends to enroll in such a study within the ensuing 6 month period.
