Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

Medical conditions

  • Any primary kidney disease with a high incidence of recurrent primary kidney diseasewithin the allograft

  • Diabetes mellitus (type 1 and 2) with diabetic nephropathy

  • Confirmed or suspected Human Immunodeficiency Virus or primary immunodeficiencydisease

  • Any other clinical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might poseadditional risk to the subject due to participation in the study

  • History of any reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by anycomponent of the vaccine

  • Any condition which, in the judgement of the investigator would make intramuscularinjection unsafe.

  • Atypical Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome.

Prior/Concomitant therapy

  • Use of any investigational or non-registered product other than the study vaccineduring the period starting 30 days before Visit Day 1 (Day -29 to Day -1), orplanned use during the study period.

  • Subject in receipt of treatment for rejection during the six months (180 days) priorto enrolment.

  • Use of anti-CD20 or other B-cell monoclonal antibody agents within 1 year of VisitDay 1 or planned administration during the duration of the study.

  • Administration of immunoglobulins 6 months (180 days) prior to Visit Day 1 orplanned administration of immunoglobulins during the duration of the study.

  • Administration or planned administration of a vaccine within 30 days prior to VisitDay 1 up to Visit Month 2 with the exception of an inactivated or subunit influenzavaccine which may be given 8 days prior to or 14 days after Visit Day 1 and 8 daysprior to or 14 days after Visit Month 1.

  • Previous vaccination against HZ

  • Varicella vaccination within the 6 months (180 days) preceding Visit Day 1

  • Planned administration during the study of an HZ or varicella vaccine (including aninvestigational or non-registered vaccine) other than the study vaccine
