Key exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria

- • Have an acute illness, as determined by the site Principal Investigator (PI) or
appropriate sub-investigator, within 72 hours prior to study vaccination.

- Have a history of documented COVID-19 infection or a known positive COVID-19 antibody
test.

to study vaccination.

- Have known active or recently active (12 months) neoplastic disease or a history of
any hematologic malignancy.

- Have known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection.

- Have a history of severe systemic reactions following previous immunization with
licensed or unlicensed vaccines.

- Have a history of Guillain-Barré Syndrome.

- Have a history of alcohol or drug abuse within 5 years prior to study vaccination.

- Have any diagnosis, current or past, of schizophrenia, bipolar disease or other
psychiatric diagnosis that may interfere with subject compliance or safety evaluations
as determined by the site PI or appropriate sub-investigator.

- Have been hospitalized for psychiatric illness, history of suicide attempt, or
confinement for danger to self or others within 5 years prior to study vaccination.

contraindication to study participation.

- Have any medical disease or condition that, in the opinion of the site PI or
appropriate sub-investigator, is a contraindication to study participation. *Including
