This study is a randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled phase Ia/IIa clinical trial of the Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine in healthy people aged 18~59 Years.

This phase Ia/IIa trial is designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of different doses of the Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine inoculated with different immunization schedules based upon the randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled principle.
