Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and are at high risk for severe outcomes. Participants will receive a new type of vaccine and report on their health after vaccination.

I am at least 65 years old.
I have completed my COVID-19 vaccination series.
My last COVID-19 vaccine was at least 6 months ago.
I agree to use birth control if I can become pregnant.
I am willing to not participate in any other COVID-19 trials during the study.
I can provide consent to take part in the study.
I am available for all study visits.
You may not be able to join if
I have had an acute illness in the last 72 hours.
I tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 90 days.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Is an adult 18 through 64 years of age at time of screening with at least 1 underlying condition that puts the participant at high risk for severe outcomes of COVID-19 per self-report OR is an adult ≥65 years of age at time of screening (with or without at least 1 underlying …
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Is an adult 18 through 64 years of age at time of screening with at least 1 underlying condition that puts the participant at high risk for severe outcomes of COVID-19 per self-report OR is an adult ≥65 years of age at time of screening (with or without at least 1 underlying condition).
2. Has completed any WHO/FDA-authorized or approved primary COVID-19 vaccination series per self-report.
3. Has received last COVID-19 vaccine ≥6 months prior to study vaccination.
4. If a female of childbearing potential who is sexually active, agrees to use an adequate method of birth control from Screening through 90 days after study vaccination, and has used an adequate birth control method for at least 30 days prior to Screening. Sexually active male participants, unless the participant is sterile or otherwise unable to produce sperm, or has exclusively male sexual partners, must agree to abstinence or to use a barrier method (e.g., male condom) from vaccination through 90 days after study vaccination. Male participants must also agree to not donate sperm from vaccination through 90 days after study vaccination.
5. Is medically stable, as determined by the site investigator (based on review of health status, vital signs, medical history, and physical examination).
6. Agrees to not participate in any other SARS-CoV-2 infection prevention trial (vaccine, drug, biologic, pre-exposure prophylaxis \[PrEP\]) during participation in the study.
7. Willing and able to provide informed consent prior to initiation of study procedures.
8. Is available for all study visits, willing to participate in all study procedures, and not planning to relocate from the area for the duration of the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Has an acute illness, as determined by the site investigator, within 72 hours prior to Screening or study vaccination.
2. Has had a positive COVID-19 test within the 90 days prior to Screening or study vaccination.
3. Current or planned participation in any other interventional clinical trial.
4. Participation in research involving any investigational product within 45 days prior to Screening or study vaccination.
5. Receipt of any approved or authorized products intended to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection within 6 months prior to Screening or study vaccination.
6. Receipt of blood products or immunoglobulins within 60 days prior to Screening or study vaccination.
7. Received influenza vaccination within 14 days prior to Screening or study vaccination, or any other vaccine within 30 days prior to Screening or study vaccination.
8. Any significant autoimmune, immunodeficiency disease/condition, or auto inflammatory disorder (e.g., any known immunoglobulin A \[IgA\] deficiency, human immunodeficiency virus \[HIV\] infection, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome \[AIDS\])
9. Has current active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection (based on self-reported medical history).
10. Has a peripheral arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) level \<92% at Screening, uncontrolled or severe asthma (e.g., more than 1 hospitalization for asthma exacerbation within the 12 months prior to Screening), or other uncontrolled or severe chronic lung disease or known bronchial hyper-reactivity to viruses that, in the opinion of the site investigator, would pose a health risk to the individual if enrolled.
11. Has known active tuberculosis.
12. Unstable non-cardiac illness (acute or chronic illness) requiring hospitalization or medical procedure during the 90 days prior to Screening or study vaccination, or cardiac condition (acute or chronic) requiring hospitalization or medical procedure (e.g., stenting, cardiac surgery, etc.) during the 1 year prior to Screening or study vaccination.
13. History of myocarditis, pericarditis, myopericarditis, or idiopathic cardiomyopathy, or presence of any medical condition (e.g., viral illness within 30 days of Screening or study vaccination) that, in the opinion of the investigator, increases risk of myocarditis, pericarditis, or myopericarditis.
