Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 3Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Healthy adults between 18 - 64 years who have received a primary series and at least one booster with an authorized or licensed mRNA SARS-CoV-2 parenteral vaccine will receive 1 x 10\^6 PFU of MPV/S-2P administered intranasally (approximately 0.5 mL per nostril) using VaxINator (Teleflex) for 1 year. N=20
Group II: Cohort 2Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Healthy adults between 18 - 64 years who have received a primary series and at least one booster with an authorized or licensed mRNA SARS-CoV-2 parenteral vaccine will receive 1 x 10\^5 PFU of MPV/S-2P administered intranasally (approximately 0.5 mL per nostril) using VaxINator (Teleflex) for 1 year. N=20
Group III: Cohort 1Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Healthy adults between 18 - 64 years who have received a primary series and at least one booster with an authorized or licensed mRNA SARS-CoV-2 parenteral vaccine will receive 1 x 10\^4 PFU of MPV/S-2P administered intranasally (approximately 0.5 mL per nostril) using VaxINator (Teleflex) for 1 year.
