|---|---|---|
|
Phase 2/Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
There will be 12 study groups and it is anticipated that a total of 12,390 volunteers will be enrolled. Groups 1, 7 & 9 are adults aged 56-69 years; groups 2, 8 & 10 are adults 70 years and over; groups 4, 5 & 6 are adults aged 18-55 years; group 11 is adults aged 18-55 years who have previously received a ChAdOx vectored vaccine; group 12 is HIV positive adults aged 18-55 years.
The vaccine will be administered intramuscularly into the deltoid of the non-dominant arm (preferably).
All subjects will undergo follow-up for a total of 1 year post last vaccination. Additional visits or procedures may be performed at the discretion of the investigators, e.g., further medical history and physical examination, or additional blood tests and other investigations if clinically relevant
