About the research

The main goals of this study are to assess the immune response and safety of two different vaccines for first, second, third and fourth doses as well as for differing intervals between the first and second dose of two-dose vaccines.

Read the full description

For dose 1 and 2, the currently available mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 and Moderna mRNA-1273) are two dose vaccines which were studied in schedules of either 0 and 21 days or 0 and 28 days, respectively. The ChAdOx1 nCOV-19 (Astra-Zeneca) adenovirus-vectored vaccine is authorized to be given in two doses one month to 12 weeks apart. We will compare the interval 0, 28 days to a 0, 112 days (16 weeks) schedule, and assess the immunogenicity of both heterogeneous and heterologous second doses using the Canadian schedule.

For dose 3, the currently available mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 and Moderna mRNA-1273) and plant-based virus-like particle (Medicago Covifenz) are anticipated to be administered 6 months apart. We will assess the immunogenicity of both heterogeneous and heterologous third doses using the Canadian schedule.

For dose 4, the currently available mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 and Moderna mRNA-1273) and plant-based virus-like particle (Medicago Covifenz) are anticipated to be administered 3 months apart. We will assess the immunogenicity of both heterogeneous and heterologous third doses using the Canadian schedule.
