This study is looking at SARS-CoV-2 infection, which is the virus that causes COVID-19. The study will use a vaccine called Spikevax, which contains elasomeran, also known by its code name mRNA-1273. This is a messenger RNA vaccine that teaches the body to recognize and fight against the virus. The vaccine will be given as a single injection into the muscle. The study will involve adults between 50 and 64 years of age who do not have risk factors that would make COVID-19 more severe for them.
The purpose of this study is to find out how well the vaccine works in reducing the risk of COVID-19 that requires medical attention compared to not receiving the vaccine. The study will also look at how safe the vaccine is in this age group. This is a randomized trial, which means that participants will be assigned by chance to either receive the vaccine or not receive it. The researchers will then compare the two groups to see if there are differences in how many people develop COVID-19 that needs medical care.
During the study, researchers will track whether participants develop COVID-19 by looking at positive test results or hospital admissions related to the infection. They will also look at other outcomes such as hospitalizations for breathing problems related to COVID-19, heart and breathing problems, and deaths. The study will follow participants over time to collect this information and determine how effective the vaccine is in preventing illness in this specific age group without other health conditions that put them at higher risk.
