Prior/Concomitant therapy * Use of any investigational or non-registered product other than the study vaccine during the period starting 30 days before Visit Day 1 (Day -29 to Day -1), or planned use during the study period. * Subject in receipt of treatment for rejection during the six months (180 days) prior to enrolment. * Use of anti-CD20 or other B-cell monoclonal antibody agents within 1 year of Visit Day 1 or planned administration during the duration of the study. * Administration of blood products 3 months (90 days) prior to Visit Day 1 or planned administration during the duration of the study. * Administration of immunoglobulins 6 months (180 days) prior to Visit Day 1 or planned administration of immunoglobulins during the duration of the study. * Administration or planned administration of a vaccine within 30 days prior to Visit Day 1 up to Visit Month 2 with the exception of an inactivated or subunit influenza vaccine which may be given 8 days prior to or 14 days after Visit Day 1 and 8 days prior 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 an investigational or non-registered vaccine) other than the study vaccine Prior/Concurrent clinical study experience • Concurrent or planned participation in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational product * available locally through compassionate use programs, * submitted for and pending local/country registration, * approved and registered for use in other countries with well-documented Summary of Product Characteristics or Prescribing Information * The name of the active component(s) of these immunosuppressants must be provided in the concomitant medication listing Other exclusions * Child in care * Pregnant or lactating female * Female planning to become pregnant or planning to discontinue contraceptive precautions (if of childbearing potential) between one month (30 days) prior to Visit Day 1 through two months (60 days) after Visit Month 1. * Evidence or high suspicion, in the opinion of the investigator, of non-compliance or non-adherence to use of induction and/or maintenance immunosuppressive therapies. * Failure to fully complete the 7-day pre-vaccination diary card distributed at the Pre-vaccination visit * Completion must cover the 7 days immediately prior to randomisation (Visit Day 1). * Completion is defined as a minimum of 6 days completed. * Subjects with less than 6 days completed may be offered a new date for Visit Day 1 and the opportunity to comply with the completion of the 7-day pre-vaccination diary card prior to the new planned Visit Day 1. * Any study personnel or their immediate dependants, family, or household member.
