Primary outcomes

1

Description
Abnormal vital signs and anaphylactic reactions immediately after vaccination: Number and percentages of participants who develop abnormal vital signs within half an hour of receiving the vaccine at each doses will be recorded. Abnormal vital signs include temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure before and after vaccination. Anaphylaxis is defined as an immediate systemic hypersensitivity simultaneously involving two systems. Anaphylactic reactions include: erythema, pruritus, urticaria and angioedema, bronchospasm, laryngeal edema, dizziness, hypotension, nausea, shortness of breath, wheezing, arrhythmia, cyanosis, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and will be checked after each vaccination.
Timepoint
Before vaccination and 30 minutes after vaccination at each dose
Method of measurement
Temperature is measured using a digital thermometer. Blood pressure will be measured using a digital sphygmomanometer

2

Description
Local adverse reactions: The number and percentage of local adverse reactions within the first week post-vaccination (including pain, tenderness, erythema/redness, swelling and stiffness, itching)
Timepoint
The first seven days after 1st and 2nd vaccine dose (Days 0-7 and 21-28)
Method of measurement
The required information will be collected using the application installed on the mobile phones of the volunteer or their legal guardian. Volunteer will be contacted if they do not complete the relevant forms on their application.

Method of measurement
Each test will be performed using the appropriate kit.

Method of measurement
Conventional Virus Neutralization Test (cVNT)

Secondary outcomes

1

Description
Severe Adverse event (SAEs), Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction (SUSAR ) and Medically Attended Adverse Events (MAAEs)
Timepoint
Weekly until sixth month after second vaccine dose
Method of measurement
The required information will be collected using a weekly questionnaire delivered through the installed application on the volunteer mobile phone or their legal guardian. Volunteer will be contacted if they do not complete the relevant forms on their application.

2

Description
Measurement of serum levels of specific IgG antibodies against S1 and RBD components of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antigen (s)
Timepoint
Measurement will be done on days zero, 35, 90 and 180 and comparison will be made between day 0 and other time points.
Method of measurement
Will be measured using ELISA method

3

Description
Evaluation of cell-mediated immunity by counting CD3, CD4 and CD8 cells number. IFN-γ, TNF-α, and interleukin 2, 4, 6, and 17 will also be measured following the stimulation of peripheral blood mono nuclear cells by covid 19 s antigen. Evaluation of cell mediated immunity will be performed only in 10% of participants.
Timepoint
Cell mediated immunity will be assessed on days 0, 35, 90 and 180 and comparison will be made between day 0 and other time points.
Method of measurement
Immunologic lab tests

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Participants in the 12-17 years age group will receive two intramuscular doses of 10μg/200μl vaccine strengths on days 0 and 21, followed by an intranasal dose on day 51.
