Exclusion Criteria: 1. CHIKV infection in the past, including suspected CHIKV infection; is taking medication or other treatment for unresolved symptoms attributed to a previous CHIKV infection; or has participated in a clinical study involving an investigational CHIKV vaccine; 2. acute or recent infection; 3. tests positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis C virus (HCV); 4. live virus vaccine within 28 days or inactivated vaccine within 14 days prior to vaccination in this study or plans to receive a vaccine within 28 days or 14 days after vaccination, respectively; 5. abnormal findings in any required study investigations (including medical history, physical examination, and clinical laboratory) considered clinically relevant by the Investigator which pose a risk for participation in the study; 6. medical history of or currently has acute or progressive, unstable or uncontrolled clinical conditions that pose a risk for participation in the study; 7. history of immune-mediated or clinically relevant arthritis / arthralgia; 8. history of malignancy in the past 5 years other than squamous cell or basal cell skin cancer. If there has been surgical excision or treatment more than 5 years ago that is considered to have achieved a cure, the subject may be enrolled; 9. known or suspected defect of the immune system, such as subjects with congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, including infection with HIV, status post organ transplantation or immuno-suppressive therapy within 4 weeks prior to vaccination; 10. history of any vaccine related contraindicating event (e.g., anaphylaxis, allergy to components of the candidate vaccine, other known contraindications); 11. with clinical conditions representing a contraindication to intramuscular vaccination and blood draws; 12. pregnant or lactating at the time of enrollment; 13. donation of blood, blood fractions or plasma within 30 days or received blood-derived products (e.g. plasma) within 90 days prior to vaccination in this study or plans to donate blood or use blood products until Day 180 of the study; 14. rash, dermatological condition or tattoos that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, interfere with injection site reaction rating; 15. known or suspected problem with alcohol or drug abuse as determined by the Investigator; 16. any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may compromise the subjects well-being, might interfere with evaluation of study endpoints, or would limit the subject's ability to complete the study; 17. committed to an institution (by virtue of an order issued either by the judicial or the administrative authorities); 18. participation in another clinical study involving an investigational medicinal product (IMP) or device within 30 days prior to study enrollment or is scheduled to participate in another clinical study involving an IMP, or device during the course of this study; 19. member of the team conducting the study or in a dependent relationship with one of the study team members. Dependent relationships include close relatives (i.e., children, partner/spouse, siblings, parents) as well as employees of the Investigator or site personnel conducting the study.
