Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Subject can be excluded by any of the following: 1.COVID-19 antibody test is positive; 2.Those with confirmed infection of SARS or MERS virus previously. 3.Those with an acute infection within 2 weeks before vaccination. 4.Those with a history of needle sickness. 5.Those with a metal implant within 20 cm from the planned injection site. 6.Those with a tattoo, keloid formation or hypertrophic scar at the planned injection site. 7.Those implanted with cardiac pacemaker or automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD). 8.Those with any pre-excitation syndrome or relevant history, e.g. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. 9.Female subjects with a positive result of urine pregnancy test, pregnant/lactating women, or women planning to be pregnant within 12 months (for women of childbearing potential aged = 7 days) of oral or parenteral glucocorticoids (excluding topical corticosteroids, and/or corticosteroids containing eye drops, low-dose methotrexate, or corticosteroids with a dose less than 20 mg/day); Those who are using or are expected to use antirheumatic drugs (e.g. azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporin, and methotrexate) and biological drugs for disease alleviation, e.g. TNF-a inhibitors (e.g., infliximab, adalimumab, or etanercept); Those with other immunosuppression effects of clinical significance that may affect the safety of subjects, interfere with the study assessment or endpoint evaluation, or otherwise affect the validity of the stu
