* Have an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on the most recent available serum creatinine using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) method of < (less than) 40 milliliter per minute per 1.73 m^2 (mL/min/1.73 m^2)

* Have a current or recent clinically serious viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infection
* Have had symptomatic herpes zoster infection within 12 weeks prior to study entry
* Have a history of disseminated/complicated herpes zoster (eg, multidermatomal involvement, ophthalmic zoster, central nervous system involvement, postherpetic neuralgia)
* Are immunocompromised and, in the opinion of the investigator, are at an unacceptable risk for participating in the study
* Have a history of active hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
* Have screening laboratory test values, including thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), outside the reference range for the population or investigative site that, in the opinion of the investigator, pose an unacceptable risk for the participant's participation in the study
* Have screening electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities that, in the opinion of the investigator or the sponsor, are clinically significant and indicate an unacceptable risk for the participant's participation in the study (e.g. Fridericia's corrected QT interval >500 millisecond [msec])
