The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in:
• People with prior COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 infection) who were in the ACTIV-2/A5401 study.
And
• People who have never had COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 infection).

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine
To be administered intramuscularly (IM) at Day 0 and Day 28.
|
Biological: Moderna mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine
100 µg (0.5 mL) to be administered intramuscularly (IM) at Day 0 and Day 28. Biological: Community-provided mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine Two dose series. Biological: Community-Provided Moderna mRNA-1273 COVID-19 Vaccine Participants will receive (or have recently received) a community-provided Moderna mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine at (or before) Day 0 and study-provided Moderna mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine, 100 µg (0.5 mL) to be administered intramuscularly (IM) at at least 28 days apart. |
- Neutralizing antibody (NAb) level at least [ Time Frame: At least 56 days after the first dose of the study- or community-provided vaccine ]
- Relative pre-vaccine to post-vaccine change in NAb response [ Time Frame: The pre-vaccine NAb measurement will be obtained before the first dose of the vaccine, and the post-vaccine measurement will be obtained at least 56 days after the first dose of the vaccine. ]Defined as the ratio of post-vaccine level/pre-vaccine level.
- New Grade 3 or higher AE, or SAE, or AE leading to change or discontinuation in vaccine receipt [ Time Frame: From first dose of the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine and through 56 days after the first dose of vaccine. ]
- Proportion of participants with Grade 1 or higher allergic reaction from first dose of the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine. [ Time Frame: Through the visit 56 days after the first dose of the vaccine ]
- Proportion of participants with Grade 2 or higher injection site reaction from first dose of the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine. [ Time Frame: Through the visit 56 days after the first dose of the vaccine ]
- CD4+ T cell response to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein [ Time Frame: At the visit 56 days after the first dose of the vaccine ]
- CD8+ T cell response to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein [ Time Frame: At the visit 56 days after the first dose of the vaccine ]
- IgG serologic response to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein at receptor binding domain (RBD) and N terminal domain (NTD) and Matrix (M) protein. [ Time Frame: At the visit 56 days after the first dose of the vaccine ]
- IgM serologic response to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein at receptor binding domain (RBD) and N terminal domain (NTD) and Matrix (M) protein. [ Time Frame: At the visit 56 days after the first dose of the vaccine ]
- Flow cytometry of PBMC for markers of exhaustion on B and T cells [ Time Frame: At study entry/Day 0 and 56 days after the first vaccine dose. ]
- Relative pre-vaccine to post-vaccine change in NAb response [ Time Frame: The pre-vaccine NAb measurement will be obtained before the first dose of the vaccine, and the post-vaccine measurement will be obtained at least 56 days after the first dose of the vaccine. ]Defined as the ratio of post-vaccine level/pre-vaccine level by received vaccine, i.e., Moderna versus Pfizer.
