Presence of severe or uncontrollable cardiovascular diseases, or severe or uncontrollable disorders related to endocrine system, blood and lymphatic system, liver and kidney, respiratory system, metabolic and skeletal systems, or malignancies (skin basal cell carcinoma and carcinoma in-situ of cervix are exceptions and will not be excluded), such as severe heart failure, severe pulmonary heart disease, unstable angina, liver failure, or uremia;
  9. Contraindications for intramuscular injection or intravenous blood sampling, including thrombocytopenia and other blood coagulation disorders;
  10. Participants who received any immunoglobulin or blood products in the previous 3 months before enrollment, or plan to receive similar products during the study;
  11. Participants who received other investigational drugs within 1 month before the study vaccination;
  12. Participants who is at the acute state of disease, such as acute onset of chronic heart failure, acute sore throat, hypertensive encephalopathy, acute pneumonia, acute renal insufficiency, acute cholecystitis;
  13. Participants vaccinated with influenza vaccine within 14 days or with other vaccines within 28 days before the study vaccination;
  14. Those who donated blood or had blood loss (≥450 mL) within 3 months before the vaccination or plan to donate blood during the study period;
  15. Those who are pregnant or breast-feeding or plan to be pregnant during the study period;
  16. Those who plan to donate ovum or sperms during the study period;
  17. Those who cannot follow the trial procedures, or cannot cooperate to complete the study due to planned relocation or long-term outing;
  18. Those unsuitable for participating in the clinical trial as determined by the investigator because of other abnormalities that are likely to confuse the study results, or non-conformance with the maximal benefits of the participants;
  19. Those who are tested positive for HIV in terms of serology.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cases of the first occurrence of symptomatic COVID-19 of any severity starting 7 days (≥8 days) after the study vaccination7 days after the study vaccination

After the study vaccination, participants were contacted weekly to inquire about any signs or symptoms related to COVID-19. Participants were encouraged to report any COVID-19-related symptoms they experienced spontaneously during the study period.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cases of the first occurrence of all infection, asymptomatic infection, symptomatic infection, infection with multiple symptoms, respectively, starting 14-days post- vaccination.14 days after the study vaccination

Participants were contacted weekly to inquire about any signs or symptoms related to COVID-19. Participants were encouraged to report any COVID-19-related symptoms they experienced spontaneously during the study period.

Safety: Incidence and severity of SAEs and AESIs from D0 to D365.Day 0 to Day 365 after the study vaccination.

Serious adverse events (SAEs) and adverse events of special interest (AESIs) were collected by investigators via phone calls, short messages, e-mails, visits on-site, or other contact methods for up to 365 days.

cases of the first occurrence of all infection, asymptomatic infection, infection with multiple symptoms, moderate, severe, and death due to COVID-19, starting 7-days post-vaccination7 days after the study vaccination

Participants were contacted weekly to inquire about any signs or symptoms related to COVID-19. Participants were encouraged to report any COVID-19-related symptoms they experienced spontaneously during the study period.

Immunogenicity: GMT of neutralizing antibody (nAb) against SARS-CoV-2 variants or subvariants on 7, 14, 28, 90, 180 and 365 days post-vaccinationDay 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 90, Day 180 and Day 365

Blood samples were collected from participants in the immunogenicity subgroup on 0 (pre-injection), 14, and 28 days post-vaccination. Additional blood samples were collected from 200 participants in the immunogenicity subgroup on 7, 90, 180 and 365 days post-vaccination for geometric mean titers (GMTs) of live virus neutralizing antibodies against Omicron BA.5 variant using 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50).

Cases of the first occurrence of symptomatic infection, infection with multiple symptoms, moderate, severe and death due to COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2 variants, starting 14-days post-vaccination.14 days after the study vaccination

Participants were contacted weekly to inquire about any signs or symptoms related to COVID-19. Participants were encouraged to report any COVID-19-related symptoms they experienced spontaneously during the study period.

Immunogenicity: Seroresponse rate of nAb against SARS-CoV-2 (including its variants and subvariants) on Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 90, Day 180 and Day 365.Day 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 90, Day 180 and Day 365

the sereresponse rates (SRRs) of nAb (change from \<lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) to ≥4 ×LLOQ, or at least a fourfold rise if baseline ≥LLOQ) compared with the pre-injection baseline (95%CI) against SARS-CoV-2 variants or subvariants

Safety: Incidence and severity of solicited AEs of SCTV01E from D0 to D7.Day 0 to Day 7 after the study vaccination.

Both active monitoring and spontaneous reporting were used. Solicited AEs within 7 days after the study vaccination were collected through vaccination record cards (VRCs).

Safety: Incidence and severity of unsolicited AEs of SCTV01E from D0 to D28.Day 0 to Day 28 after the study vaccination.

Both active monitoring and spontaneous reporting were used. Unsolicited AEs within 28 days after the study vaccination were collected through vaccination record cards (VRCs).
