Study Description

Brief Summary:

This is an open-label study to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of mRNA-1273 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine in adults with a kidney or liver solid organ transplant (SOT) and in healthy adult participants. The primary goal of the study is to evaluate the safety of mRNA-1273 and the serum antibody (Ab) responses obtained 28 days after the last dose of mRNA-1273.

Intervention/treatment

Experimental: mRNA-1273; Part A: All participants (healthy participants and SOT participants) who were unvaccinated prior to enrollment will receive 2 intramuscular (IM) injections of 100 microgram (µg) mRNA-1273 on Day 1 and Day 29. All SOT participants who were unvaccinated prior to enrollment will be offered the opportunity to receive a third primary dose of mRNA-1273 at Day 85 as per the emergency use authorization (EUA) Fact Sheet available at the time of protocol finalization. SOT participants who were previously vaccinated with 2 doses of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine under the EUA prior to enrollment will receive Dose 3 on Day 1. Part B: All eligible participants from Part A will be offered to receive a 100 µg booster dose of mRNA-1273 who are at least 4 months from the last dose. SOT recipients who completed primary COVID-19 vaccination series under EUA (outside of the mRNA-1273-P304 study) will receive a 100 µg booster dose on booster dose Day 1.

Biological: mRNA-1273; Sterile liquid for injection
