3. Subjects who have completed three-dose inactivated COVID-19 vaccine at 6 months earlier;
4. S-protein binding antibody IgG concentration was less than 300BAU/mL before booster vaccination in cohort 1, while S-protein binding antibody IgG concentration was not screened in cohort 2; Subjects in cohort 1 and cohort 2 were negative in nucleic acid test or antigen test before booster vaccination.
5. For female participants of childbearing potential, effective contraception measures should be used within 2 weeks prior to participation in this study and the results of pregnancy test is required to be negative. Participants should voluntarily agree to use effective contraceptive measures from the time of signing the informed consent form to the end of the study (effective contraceptive measures including oral contraceptives (excluding emergency contraceptives), injectable or implantable contraceptives, sustained-release topical contraceptives, hormonal patches, intrauterine device, sterilization, abstinence, condoms (for males), diaphragms, cervical caps, etc.).

6. Administration of antipyretics, painkillers or anti-allergy drugs within 24 hours prior to enrolment;

7. Receipt of any live attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to vaccination and other vaccines, such as subunit and inactivated vaccine within 14 days prior to vaccination;

8. Receipt of blood or blood-related products, including immunoglobulins, within 3 months prior to vaccination; or any planned use during the study period.

9. Subjects with the following diseases:

   1. Any acute diseases or acute attacks of chronic diseases within 7 days prior to enrolment；
