2. History of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) or other coronavirus infections.
3. History of a previous laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19.
4. History of allergy to any component of the study vaccine or history of severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or drug (including but not limited to anaphylaxis, allergic laryngeal oedema, anaphylactic purpura, thrombocytopenic purpura, or localized allergic necrosis (Arthus reaction)).
5. Positive nucleic acid for SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swab specimens.
6. Positive HIV test result.
7. A history or family history of convulsions, epilepsy, encephalopathy and psychosis.
8. Malignant tumors in the active phase, malignant tumors not receiving adequate treatment, malignant tumors at potential risk of recurrence during the study period.
