* Medical history or family history of autoimmune disease and other pIMDs.
* Family history of acute rheumatic fever.
* Acute or chronic illness, or clinically significant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic, or renal functional abnormality.
* Any other clinical condition that might pose additional risk to the participant due to participation in the study.
* Administration of long-acting immune-modifying drugs (e.g., infliximab) at any time prior to the administration of the first dose of study intervention(s) or planned administration during the study period.
* Prior receipt of an experimental Strep A vaccine.
* Use of any investigational or nonregistered product (drug, vaccine, or medical device) other than the study interventions during the period starting 30 days before the first dose of study intervention (Day -30 to Day 1), or their planned use during the study period.
* Receipt of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol administered during the period starting at 21 days before the first dose of study intervention (28 days before the first dose, in case of live vaccines) and ending after the last dose of study intervention administration.
* Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products or plasma derivatives, or bone marrow transplantation, during the period starting 3 months before administration of the first dose of study intervention(s) or planned administration during the study period.
* Chronic administration (defined as >14 days in total) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs during the period starting 3 months prior to the first dose of study intervention. For corticosteroids, this means prednisone equivalent >=20 mg/day for adult participants. Inhaled, topical, intra-articular, and intranasal steroids are allowed.
* Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the participant has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational intervention (drug, vaccine, or invasive medical device).
