The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of study vaccine in the prevention of Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed RSV mediated- lower Respiratory Tract Disease (LRTD) over one RSV season when compared to placebo in adults aged 60 years and above and to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the vaccine in high-risk adults aged 20 to 59 years versus in adults aged 60 years and older in terms of humoral immune response.

Cohort 2: Neutralizing Antibody Titers Against RSV A Strain as Measured by Virus Neutralizing Antibody (VNA) Assay
Neutralizing antibody titers against RSV A strain as measured by VNA Assay will be reported.
Time frame: Day 15
Cohort 1: Number of Participants with First Occurrence of Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) confirmed Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Mediated-lower Respiratory Tract Disease (LRTD) Over one RSV Season
Number of participants with first occurrence of RT-PCR confirmed RSV Mediated LRTD over one RSV season will be reported.
Time frame: Until end of RSV season (up to 11.5 months)
Cohort 1 (Immuno Subset): Neutralizing Antibody Titers Against RSV A Strain
Neutralizing antibody titers against RSV A strain will be reported.
Time frame: Day 1, 15, 85, and 169
Cohort 1 (Immuno Subset) and 2: RSV A F protein in pre-fusion form Binding Antibodies as Assessed by Enzyme linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA)
Antibodies binding to RSV A F protein in pre-fusion form as assessed by ELISA will be reported
Time frame: Cohort 1: Day 1, 15, 85, and 169; Cohort 2: 14 days after vaccination (Day 15)
Cohorts 1 and 2: Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
A SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.
Time frame: Cohort 1: Up to 6 months after vaccination or end of RSV season, whichever comes later (up to 11.5 months); Cohort 2: Up to 6 months after vaccination
Cohorts 1 and 2: Number of Participants with Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)
Number of participants with AESIs will be reported. Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome is considered to be an AESI.
Time frame: Cohort 1: Up to 6 months after vaccination or end of RSV season, whichever comes later (up to 11.5 months); Cohort 2: Up to 6 months after vaccination
Cohort 1 (Safety Subset) and Cohort 2: Number of Participants with Solicited Systemic AEs After Vaccination
Solicited systemic AEs (fatigue, headache, myalgia, nausea and fever) will be noted in the participant diary for 7 days post-vaccination.
Time frame: 7 Days after vaccination (Day 1 to Day 8)
Cohort 1 (Safety Subset) and Cohort 2: Number of Participants with Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs) After Vaccination
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered an investigational or non-investigational medicinal product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. Solicited local AEs (including erythema, swelling, and pain/tenderness at the study vaccine injection site) will be noted in the participant diary for 7 days post-vaccination.
Time frame: 7 Days after vaccination (Day 1 to Day 8)
Cohort 1 (Safety Subset) and Cohort 2: Number of Participants with Unsolicited AEs After Vaccination
Unsolicited AEs are all AEs for which the participant is not specifically questioned in the participant diary.
Time frame: 28 days after vaccination (Day 1 to Day 29)
Cohort 2: Neutralizing Antibody Titers Against RSV A Strain iso RSV A2 as Measured by VNA Assay in terms of Seroresponse rate
Neutralizing antibody titers against RSV A strain as measured by VNA assay in terms of seroresponse rate will be reported. Seroresponse is defined as a 4-fold increase from baseline in Day 15 antibody titers.
Time frame: 14 days after vaccination (Day 15)
Cohort 1: Number of Participants with First Occurrence of RT-PCR Confirmed RSV-mediated Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) Over one RSV Season
Number of participants with first occurrence of any RT-PCR confirmed RSV-mediated ARI over one RSV season will be reported.
Time frame: Until end of RSV season (up to 11.5 months)
