The goal of this clinical trial is to compare different Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination schedules in healthy adults that have not yet been exposed to SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants will be vaccinated twice with a COVID-19 vaccine (on day 0, and on day 28 or 84). After each vaccination, they will collect information about adverse events in a diary for 14 days. Information about the occurrence of events such as hospitalizations and infections with SARS-CoV-2 will be collected by the investigator for up to 364 days after the first vaccination. Blood samples will be taken on different timepoints and used to assess immunity against SARS-CoV-2.
Researchers will compare 8 vaccination schedules to see if the immune response and safety profile is similar. Each participant will receive 1 of the following 8 vaccine schedules:

Participants were blinded up to the venous blood draw used to assess the primary endpoint (day 112 for the long-interval treatment arm, day 56 for all other treatment arms). Afterwards, participants were unblinded because the registration of all administered COVID-19 vaccines was required by the Belgian government.
