Persons receiving individual doses of low molecular weight heparin outside of 24 hours prior to dosing, are eligible. Persons receiving prophylactic antiplatelet medications, and without a clinically-apparent bleeding tendency, are eligible. * An acute evolving neurological disorder or history of Guillain-Barré syndrome within 6 weeks of receipt of seasonal influenza vaccine. * Administration of an inactivated or a live, attenuated seasonal influenza vaccine within 14 days before the first study vaccine dose, or of any other vaccine(s) not foreseen by the study protocol within 30 days before the first study vaccine dose. * Planned administration of any vaccine(s) not foreseen by the study protocol through completion of the Day 42 visit. * Any known or suspected allergy to any constituent of influenza vaccines, or history of severe reaction to a previous influenza vaccination. * Known pregnancy or a positive urine beta-human chorionic gonadotropin test result prior to the first study vaccine dose. * Lactating or nursing women.
