Inclusion criteria

Each subject must meet the following criteria to be enrolled and randomized into the study: 1. Willing and able to provide written informed consent to participate prior to commencing any study-related activities. 2. Must be able to attend all visits (scheduled and unscheduled, as applicable) for the duration of the study and comply with all study procedures. 3. Healthy adult males and females 18 to 64 years of age, inclusive, at Screening Visit (Visit 1). 4. Negative to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 disease) at screening and at each dosing, without evidence of recent of exposure or viral respiratory disease not identified as influenza or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (febrile or lower respiratory tract infection). 5. Must be in general good health before study participation with no clinically relevant abnormalities that could interfere with study assessments at investigator's discretion. Subjects may have stable comorbidities (no change in medications, exacerbations, or hospitalizations in past three (3) months). 6. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and men whose sexual partners are WOCBP must be able and willing to use at least one (1) highly effective method of contraception (i.e., including hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy, hormonal oral \[in combination with male condoms with spermicide\], transdermal, implant, or injection, barrier \[i.e., condom, diaphragm with spermicide\]; intrauterine device; vasectomized partner \[six months minimum\], clinically sterile partner; or abstinence) during the study. * A female subject is considered a WOCBP after menarche and until she is in a postmenopausal state for 12 consecutive months (without an alternative medical cause) or otherwise permanently sterile. * Subjects not of childbearing potential are not required to use any other forms of contraception during the study. Non-childbearing potential is defined as subject confirmed: * Surgical sterilization (e.g., bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral occlusion by cautery, hysterectomy, or tubal ligation). * Postmenopausal (defined as permanent cessation of menstruation for at least 12 consecutive months prior to screening); if postmenopausal status is unclear, pregnancy tests will be performed prior to vaccinations. 7. WOCBP must have a negative pregnancy test before each vaccination. If menopausal status is unclear, a pregnancy test is required. Inclusion into the open label safety extension 8. Receipt of at least one (1) vaccination prior to Day 42.
