Nasal and topical steroids are allowed. * Has received immunoglobulin or other blood products within the 3 months prior to study entry * History of Guillain-Barre syndrome in the subject or subject's family, including parents, siblings, half-siblings, and children * Onset of a neurological disorder including (but not limited to) absent ankle and patellar deep tendon reflexes in both legs (all four absent) within the past 6 months * Disproportionate loss of strength in lower extremity or extremities compared to the upper extremities within the past 6 months * Has any condition that would, in the opinion of the site investigator, place the participant at an unacceptable risk of injury or render the participant unable to meet the requirements of the protocol Exclusion Criteria for Step II: * Has received a nonlicensed agent (vaccine, drug, biologic, device, blood product, or medication), other than from participation in this study, since Dose #1 or expects to receive another nonlicensed agent before the end of the study * Use of anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy since Dose #1, new diagnosis of an active malignancy, or is immunosuppressed as a result of an underlying illness (other than HIV-1 infection) or treatment. * Use of glucocorticoids, including oral or parenteral steroids (at least 2 mg/kg per day or at least 20 mg total dose) for more than 2 weeks since vaccine Dose #1 or high-dose inhaled steroids (more than 800 mcg/day of beclomethasone dipropionate or equivalent) since Dose #1 (nasal and topical steroids are allowed) * Has received immunoglobulin or other blood products since Dose #1 * Any Grade 3 toxicity or adverse event (AE) experienced by a participant, unless the investigator has received protocol team approval * Any Grade 4 toxicity or AE (other than injection site reaction or fever) that is definitely, probably or possibly related to study vaccine * Any Grade 4 injection site reactions or fever experienced by a participant, unless the investigator has received protocol team approval * Any Grade 4 AEs that are definitely not or probably not related to study vaccine, unless the investigator has received protocol team approval * New occurrence or new awareness of Guillain-Barre syndrome in the participant or participant's family (parents, siblings, half-siblings, or children) since Dose #1 * New onset of a neurological disorder including (but not limited to) absent ankle and patellar deep tendon reflexes in both legs (all four absent) since Dose #1 * Disproportionate loss of strength in lower extremity or extremities compared to the upper extremities (not thought to be related to pregnancy) since Dose #1 * Documented infection with 2009 Influenza A (H1N1) since Dose #1 * Refusal of further vaccination by participant, parent, or guardian * Development of any new disease that the investigator judges to be clinically significant or clinically significant findings since Dose #1 that, in the investigator's opinion, would compromise the safety of the subject * Withdrawal of consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time and for any reason, without penalty.
