Group 1
Two vaccinations; MVA BN ®; administered 4 weeks apart (Day 0 and Day 28) followed by a single vaccination of ACAM2000® vaccine 4 weeks after the second MVA BN® vaccination (Day 56). MVA BN®: 0.5 ml MVA BN® with a nominal titer of 1x10E8 TCID50, administered as a subcutaneous injection ACAM2000®: 0.0025 ml ACAM2000®, consisting of 2.5-12.5x10E5 plaque forming units of live vaccinia virus (VACV). Picked up with a bifurcated needle and administered by the percutaneous route (scarification) using 15 jabs of that bifurcated needle.
Group 2
A single vaccination of ACAM2000® will be administered at Day 0. ACAM2000®: 0.0025 ml ACAM2000®, consisting of 2.5-12.5x10E5 plaque forming units of live vaccinia virus (VACV). Picked up with a bifurcated needle and administered by the percutaneous route (scarification) using 15 jabs of that bifurcated needle.

Timeframe: Day 6-8, 13-15 after 3rd Vaccination for Group 1 and Day 6-8, 13-15 after 1st vaccination for Group 2

Population: Per-protocol Set

The MLA was defined as the maximum of two measurements: the lesion area measured on Day 6-8 (after scarification) or the lesion area measured on Day 13-15 (after scarification). This was measured using the SilhouetteConnect camera system, and confirmed by the Independent Take Review Committee (ITRC).

MVA-BN®: 0.5 ml MVA-BN® with a nominal titer of 1x10E8 TCID50, administered as a subcutaneous injection ACAM2000®: 0.0025 ml ACAM2000®, consisting of 2.5-12.5x10E5 plaque forming units of live vaccinia virus (VACV). Picked up with a bifurcated needle and administered by the percutaneous route (scarification) using 15 jabs of that bifurcated needle.

Daily measurement of major lesion size, major erythema, and major induration diameter (mm) based on physical appearance of vaccination site as documented in the memory aid. If the shape of the lesion, erythema \[excludes lymphangitis\], and induration observed was not round but rather asymmetrical, then the largest \[or major\] cross-sectional measurement was recorded.
