This is a Phase I, Randomized, Open-Labeled Clinical trial. Eligible volunteers will be randomized in a 1:1:1 allocation ratio, into one of the three study arms using the Interactive Web Response Technology (IWRS).~Unscheduled visits can occur at any time during the study period outside the initially planned study visits, all the extra visits will be documented in the subjects' files. Volunteers will be randomized into one of the following arms to receive different doses of the Inactivated~SARS-COV-2 Vaccine NRC-VACC-101 as an intramuscular (IM) Injection or Placebo:~Arm One:~Volunteers will receive two IM doses of the vaccine, concentrations of 3 mcg, 28 days apart.~Arm Two:~Volunteers will receive two IM doses of the vaccine, concentrations of 6 mcg, 28 days apart.~Arm Three (Control arm):~Volunteers will receive two IM doses of the placebo, 28 days apart. The first 9 subjects will be initially vaccinated with their first dose, as per their assigned study arm determined by the randomization procedures and will be followed up until day 14 (visit 03). At this point in the study, the Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB) will review safety data before proceeding with vaccinating the rest of the recruited subjects
In this phase 1 study, the inactivated virus vaccine National Research Centre (NRC) Vaccine-101 (VACC-101) will be investigated for its safety and immunogenicity in healthy volunteers with the aim of providing effective and safe protection against COVID-19.
