Covid19 SARS-CoV Infection Vaccine Adverse Reaction | Biological: QazCovid-in®-vaccine against COVID-19 Other: Placebo | Phase 3 |
The main objective of the study is to prove the superiority of the QazCovid-in®-vaccine inactivated against COVID-19 in comparison with placebo in terms of seroconversion (the proportion of persons with a fourfold or higher increase in antibody titers to SARS-CoV-2) on the 21st, 42nd day, 90th and 180th days after vaccination.
To evaluate the immunogenicity of the QazCovid-in® vaccine inactivated against COVID-19 versus placebo.
Evaluate vaccine efficacy.
Evaluate the safety of vaccine versus placebo.
