Brief Summary

This is an open label, phase 1 clinical trial of an intra-dermal booster dose of INO-4800 alone or in combination with INO-9112 followed by electroporation (EP) among healthy adults at least 18 years of age, who previously completed their primary immunization series with mRNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 within 6-12 months prior to the booster dose.

• Medical conditions as follows:

  • Respiratory diseases
  • History of hypersensitivity or severe allergic reaction

• Blood donation or transfusion within 1 month prior to Day 0;

• Reported alcohol or substance abuse/dependence or illicit drug use within the past year;

• Any non-study vaccine (e.g., influenza vaccine) within 2 weeks prior to the dose of IP.
