ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new booster vaccine called Ad26.COV2.S to see how safe it is and how well it works when given to adults who have already received either one or two doses of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines, like Sinovac or Sinopharm. The goal is to understand if this booster can help improve the immune response against COVID-19. The trial is currently looking for participants aged 18 and older who meet specific health criteria, such as being in good health and having documentation of their previous COVID-19 vaccinations.

If you choose to participate, you will receive either a half or full dose of the booster vaccine, and you will be monitored for any side effects and how well your immune system responds to the vaccine. It’s important to note that there are certain health conditions and recent vaccinations that may exclude you from participating, so your health status will be carefully reviewed. Overall, this study aims to provide valuable information about how well this booster can enhance protection against COVID-19 in adults who have previously been vaccinated with other types of COVID-19 vaccines.
