Brief summary
A total of 3,000 participants will be enrolled, stratified by age into two groups: 600 participants aged 10-17 years and 2,400 participants aged 18-60 years. Within each age group, participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1:1:1 ratio to one of five vaccination schedule groups: Essen Control Group (Group A), Essen Experimental Group (Group B), Zagreb Experimental Group (Group C), Simplified Four-Dose Group 1 (Group D), and Simplified Four-Dose Group 2 (Group E). Among participants in the four experimental groups-Essen Experimental Group, Zagreb Experimental Group, Simplified Four-Dose Group 1, and Simplified Four-Dose Group 2-stratified block randomization will be applied. Within each age group and each vaccination schedule group, participants will be further randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio into three subgroups: those receiving a booster dose at Day 90 after completion of the primary immunization, those receiving a booster dose at Day 180, and those undergoing assessment of immune persistence at Day 360 after completion of the primary immunization.
Interventions
The vaccine will be administered via intramuscular injection into the deltoid muscle of the upper arm, with a human dose of 1.0 ml per injection. A total of 5 doses will be administered at Day 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28. Some participants will also undergo re-exposure immunization, receiving one additional dose of the vaccine on Days 0 and 3 of the re-exposure phase.
