Detailed Description

The inactivated Booster Phase 3 study aims to determine the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines in subjects with a minimum of 90 days and a maximum of 270 days after the second dose of CoronaVac vaccine. For the booster dose, subjects will be assigned open-label according to their preference for 2 different arms.

The booster dose vaccine arms are as follows:

* CoronaVac

* Turkovac

11. History of bleeding disorder (e.g. factor deficiency, coagulopathy or platelet disorder), or prior history of significant bleeding or bruising following intramuscular injections or venipuncture,
12. Continued use of anticoagulants such as coumarins and related anticoagulants (i.e. warfarin) or new oral anticoagulants (i.e. apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran and edoxaban),
13. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, antiphospholipid syndrome, or a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HITT or HIT type 2),
14. Suspected or known current alcohol or drug addiction,
15.
