Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing symptomatic Covid-19 infection. Timepoint: 2-dose regimen: Day 14 and 75 days after dose-2 injection; 2-dose + booster regimen: Day 14 after dose-2 injection and 90 days after booster. Method of measurement: Real Time PCR test results for COVID-19.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing severe form of Covid-19. Timepoint: 2-dose regimen: Day 14 and 75 days after dose-2 injection; 2-dose + booster regimen: Day 14 after dose-2 injection and 90 days after booster. Method of measurement: Based on the patient's clinical condition, like respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea and tachypnea, SpO2 of lower than 90%, and lung involvement of more than 50%, or hospitalization.;The effectiveness of the vaccine in prevention of death from Covid-19. Timepoint: All cases of death due to COVID-19 will be detected: 2-dose regimen: Day 14 and 75 days after dose-2 injection; 2-dose + booster regimen: Day 14 after dose-2 injection and 90 days after the booster. Method of measurement: According to the diagnosis of the research physician and the DSMB team and based on the definition of the World Health Organization.;SARS-CoV-2 virus neutralization assay.
