Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Abnormal vital signs and anaphylactic reactions before and immediately after vaccination: number and percentages of participants who develop abnormal vital signs within three hours of receiving the vaccine at each doses will be recorded. Abnormal vital signs include temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Anaphylaxis is defined as an immediate systemic hypersensitivity simultaneously involving two systems. Anaphylactic reactions include: erythema, pruritus, urticaria and angioedema, bronchospasm, laryngeal edema, dizziness, hypotension, nausea, shortness of breath, wheezing, arrhythmia, cyanosis, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and will be checked up to three hours after each vaccination. Timepoint: Before vaccination and hourly for three hours after vaccination at each dose. Method of measurement: Clinical examination.;The number and percentage of ocal adverse events within the first week post-vaccination (including pain, tenderness, erythema / redness, swelling and stiffness, itching) that will be assessed based on the severity score, duration and peak intensity. Timepoint: Seven days after 1st and 2nd vaccination(Days 0-7 and 21-27)daily assessment. Method of measurement: Daily symptom registration cards will be given to patients at the time of vaccination and they will be asked to bring them with themselves on the next visit. These patients will be contacted daily during these seven days and the study staff will ensure that the cards are completed.;The number and percentage of systemic adverse event within the first week post-vaccination (including nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, headache, fatigue, muscle pain) that will be assessed based on the severity score, duration and peak intensity. Timepoint: Seven days after each vaccination step (Days 0-7 and 21-27 and 51-57) daily assessment. Method of measurement: Daily symptom registration cards will be given to patients at the time of vaccination and they will be asked

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Number and percentage of Severe Adverse event (SAEs). Timepoint: Monthly until sixth month after last vaccine dose. Method of measurement: These events will be collected monthly from the participants through face to face or telephone contacts. In case of Severe Adverse event identification in the participants, more information about the event will be collected and discussed at the DSMB meeting.;Number and percentage of Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction(SUSAR ). Timepoint: Monthly until sixth month after last vaccine dose. Method of measurement: These events will be collected monthly from the participants through face to face or telephone contacts. In case of Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction identification in the participants, more information about the event will be collected and discussed at the DSMB meeting.;Number and percentage of Medically Attended Adverse Events (MAAEs). Timepoint: Monthly until sixth month after last vaccine dose. Method of measurement: These events will be collected monthly from the participants through face to face or telephone contacts. In case of medically attended events identification in the participants, more information about the event will be collected and discussed at the DSMB meeting.;Number and percentage of Covid-19 disease occurrence two weeks after second vaccine dose. Timepoint: ?Any time between the 14 days after second vaccine dose and the end of study. Method of measurement: Diagnosis of Covid-19 disease will be based on Iran's Ministry of Health's guideline and a positive positive PCR test.;Serum levels of specific IgG antibodies against S, S1, S2, NTD, RBD components of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antigen(s). "serum antibody level" will be assessed using geometric mean, as well as "serum fold rise" and "seroconversion rate " and will be compared between the two groups. Seroconversion rate is defined as the the proportion of the individuals whose serum IgG levels have two fold or more using the E
