The study is divided into 3 stages. At Stages I and II of the study, a maximum of 300 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 60 years should be screened, of which 200 volunteers meeting the inclusion criteria and not non-inclusion criteria, should be included and randomized to study the tolerability and safety of the vaccine.

Group 2 - 45 volunteers who received placebo twice with an interval of 14 days intramuscularly in a dose of 0.5 ml with a post-vaccination observation period of 28 days.
Stage III of the study, a maximum of 300 volunteers should be screened, of which 200 volunteers, meeting the inclusion criteria and not non-inclusion criteria, should be included and randomized to study the safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine.
Group 3 - 150 volunteers who will receive the vaccine twice with an interval of 14 days intramuscularly in a dose of 0.5 ml with a period of post-vaccination observation for 6 months.
