The study is a randomized, double-blind, and positive-controlled Phase III booster study.It will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of one dose of SCTV01C or SCTV01E asbooster compared with either one dose of Sinopharm inactivated COVID-19 vaccine (Cohort1) or one dose of Comirnaty (Cohort 2).
Approximately 1,800 participants aged 18 years old and above will be enrolled in this
study. 1,350 participants who previously received Sinopharm inactivated COVID-19 vaccine
will be enrolled to Cohort 1. 450 participants who previously received mRNA COVID-19
vaccine or previously diagnosed with COVID-19 will be enrolled to Cohort 2.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Male or female aged ≥18 years old when signing ICF;
2. For Subgroup 1 in Cohort 1: Participants who were previously vaccinated with 2 or 3
doses of Sinopharm inactivated COVID-19 vaccine. The interval between the date of
last dose and the date of this study vaccination should be 3 to 24 months.
For Subgroup 2 in Cohort 1: 1) Participants who were previously vaccinated with 2 or
3 doses of Sinopharm inactivated COVID-19 vaccine, with or without COVID-19 history;
or 2) Participants who were previously vaccinated with 1 dose of Sinopharm
inactivated COVID-19 vaccine and previously diagnosed with COVID-19. The interval
between the date of last dose/COVID-19 diagnosis and the date of this study
vaccination should be 3 to 24 months.
For Cohort 2: 1) Participants who were previously vaccinated with 2 or 3 doses of
mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Comirnaty or mRNA-1273), with or without COVID-19 history; or
2) Participants who were previously vaccinated with 1 doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine
(Comirnaty or mRNA-1273) and previously diagnosed with COVID-19; or 3) Participants
who were previously not vaccinated with any COVID-19 vaccine and previously
diagnosed with COVID-19. The interval between the date of last dose/COVID-19
diagnosis and the date of this study vaccination should be 3 to 24 months.
3. The participant and/or his legally acceptable representative can sign written ICF,
and can fully understand the trial procedure, the risk of participating in the
trial, and other interventions that can be selected if they do not participate in
the trial;
4. The participant and/or his legally acceptable representative have the ability to
read, understand, and fill in record cards;
5. Healthy participants or participants with pre-existing medical conditions who are in
stable condition. The "pre-existing medical conditions" include but not limited to
hypertension, diabetes, chronic cholecystitis and cholelithiasis, chronic gastritis
that meet the described criteria. A stable medical condition is defined as disease
not requiring significant change in therapy or no need for hospitalization as a
consequence of worsening disease state for at least 3 months prior to enrollment;
6. Fertile men and women of childbearing potential voluntarily agree to take effective
contraceptive measures from signing ICF to 6 months after the study vaccination; the
pregnancy test results of women of childbearing potential are negative on screening.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. For Subgroup 1 in Cohort 1 only: Previously diagnosed with COVID-19.
2. Presence of fever within 3 days before the study vaccination;
3. A history of infection or disease related to severe acute respiratory syndrome
(SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), or other disease corresponding use
of immunosuppressants;
4. A history of allergic reactions to any vaccine or drug, such as allergy, urticaria,
severe skin eczema, dyspnea, laryngeal edema, and angioneurotic edema;
5. A medical or family history of seizure, epilepsy, encephalopathy and psychosis;
6. Immunocompromised patients suffering from immunodeficiency diseases, important organ
diseases, immune diseases (including Guillain-Barre Syndrome [GBS], systemic lupus
erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, asplenia or splenectomy caused by any
circumstances, and other immune diseases that may have an impact on immune response
in the investigator's opinion), etc.;
7. Long-term use of immunosuppressant therapy or immunomodulatory drugs for ≥14 days
within the first six months prior to enrollment. Whereas short-term (≤14 days) use
of oral, inhaled and topical steroids are allowed;
8. Patients on antituberculosis therapy;
9. Presence of severe or uncontrollable cardiovascular diseases, or severe or
uncontrollable disorders related to endocrine system, blood and lymphatic system,
liver and kidney, respiratory system, metabolic and skeletal systems, or
malignancies (skin basal cell carcinoma and carcinoma in-situ of cervix are
exceptions and will not be excluded), such as severe heart failure, severe pulmonary
heart disease, unstable angina, liver failure, or uremia;
10. Contraindications for intramuscular injection or intravenous blood sampling,
including thrombocytopenia and other blood coagulation disorders;
11. Participants who received any immunoglobulin or blood products in the previous 3
months before enrollment, or plan to receive similar products during the study;
12. Participants who received other investigational drugs within 1 month before the
study vaccination;
13. Participants who is at the acute state of disease, such as acute onset of chronic
heart failure, acute sore throat, hypertensive encephalopathy, acute pneumonia,
acute renal insufficiency, acute cholecystitis;
14. Participants received other drugs or vaccines used to prevent COVID-19, but
participants previously received Sinopharm inactivated COVID-19 vaccine, Comirnaty
or mRNA-1273 will not be excluded;
15. Participants vaccinated with influenza vaccine within 14 days or with other vaccines
within 28 days before the study vaccination;
16. Those who donated blood or had blood loss (≥450 mL) within 3 months before the
vaccination or plan to donate blood during the study period;
17. Those who are pregnant or breast-feeding or plan to be pregnant during the study
period;
18. Those who plan to donate ovum or sperms during the study period;
19. Those who cannot follow the trial procedures, or cannot cooperate to complete the
