Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. All participants must have read, understood, and signed the informed consent form
(ICF).

2. Participants of either gender aged 56 years or older at screening.

3. Medically stable such that, according to the judgment of the investigator,
hospitalization within the study period is not anticipated and the participant appears
likely to be able to remain on study through the end of protocol-specified follow-up.

4. Participant has a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18.0-35.0 kg/m2, inclusive, at screening
(Visit 0).

5. Must be able to attend all visits of the study and comply with all study procedures,
including daily completion of the e-diary for 7 days following each vaccination.

6. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP), who are sexually active with a man, must be
able and willing to use at least 1 highly effective method of contraception (i.e.
implant contraceptive, intra-uterine device (IUD) containing either copper or
levonorgestrel, male sterilization [vasectomy], female sterilization, injectable
contraceptive, oral contraceptive pill, vaginal contraceptive ring, barrier type of
birth control measure) from study start until a minimum of 3 months after the last
dose of study vaccine (i.e. 3 months after second dose or 3 months after booster
dose).

7. WOCBPs must have a negative pregnancy test prior to each vaccination.
Minimum age
56 Years
Maximum age
No limit

Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
1. Participant is pregnant or planning to become pregnant within 3 months after last
study vaccine administration.

3. History of laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV infection

4. Participant had close contact to persons with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection within 30
days prior to screening.

5. Participant has participated in a clinical study involving an investigational
SARS-CoV-2 vaccine or has received or plans to receive a licensed SARS-CoV-2 vaccine
during the duration of the study.

6. Significant infection (e.g. positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR) or other acute illness,
including fever > 100 °F (> 37.8 °C) 48 hours before vaccination.

7. Participant has a known or suspected defect of the immune system, such as participants
with congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, including infection with HIV, status
post organ transplantation or immuno-suppressive therapy within 4 weeks prior to the
expected day of randomization.

8. Participant has a history of malignancy in the past 5 years other than squamous cell
or basal cell skin cancer. If there has been surgical excision or treatment more than
5 years ago that is considered to have achieved a cure, the participant may be
enrolled.

9. History of drug dependency or current use of drug of abuse or alcohol abuse at
screening.

10. Significant blood loss (> 450 mL) or has donated 1 or more units of blood or plasma
within 6 weeks prior to the expected day of first vaccination or the booster
administration.

11. History of clinically significant bleeding disorder (e.g., factor deficiency,
coagulopathy, or platelet disorder), or prior history of significant bleeding or
bruising following IM injections or venipuncture.

12. Severe and uncontrolled ongoing autoimmune or inflammatory disease, history of
Guillain-Barre syndrome or any other demyelinating condition.

13. Any other significant disease, disorder or finding which in the opinion of the
investigator may significantly increase the risk to the volunteer because of
participation in the study, affect the ability of the volunteer to participate in the
study or impair interpretation of the study.

Prior/concomitant therapy:

14. Receipt of immunoglobulin or another blood product within the 3 months before expected
day of first vaccination or the booster administration in this study or those who
expect to receive immunoglobulin or another blood product during this study.

15. Receipt of medications and or vaccinations intended to prevent COVID-19.

16. Receipt of any vaccine (licensed or investigational), other than licensed influenza
vaccine or for medical emergencies such as tetanus or rabies exporsure, within 28 days
prior to the expected day of randomization.

Others:

17. Any member of the study team or sponsor.

18. An immediate family member or household member of the study's personnel.

Booster Vaccination in participants 56 years and older:

In addition to the above described eligibility criteria, the following criteria must be
met:

1. Participant has not received a licensed COVID-19 vaccine during his/her participation in
the study.
