Receipt of antipyretic, analgesic and allergy drugs within 3 days before vaccination, except enteric-coated aspirin for cardiovascular diseases prevention; 9. A known allergy to any components of the study vaccine, or history of severe allergy (e.g. Anaphylactic shock, allergic laryngeal edema, anaphylactoid purpura, thrombocytopenic purpura, Arthus reaction, severe urticaria) to any previous vaccination; 10. Allergy to aminoglycoside antibiotics; 11. History of convulsions, epilepsy, encephalopathy (e.g. congenital brain dysplasia, brain trauma, brain tumor, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, brain infection disease, nerve tissue damage caused by chemical drug poisoning), mental illness and family history, and other serious neurological diseases; 12.
