6. Has a means to be contacted and to contact the investigator during the study.
7. Agree not to receive any vaccine within 28 days from study vaccination (prior and after), with the exception of an emergency use authorization or authorized non-adenoviral vectored COVID-19 vaccine, which may be given within 14 days of study vaccination.
8. Agree not to donate bone marrow, blood, or blood products until 3 months after the study vaccination.
9. In good general health without clinically significant medical conditions, based on medical history, physical examination, vital signs, and clinical laboratory results as deemed acceptable by the principal investigator.
10. Clinical laboratory results within 28 days prior to vaccination within the site's laboratory reference ranges (or deemed not clinically significant by the principal investigator) for the following parameters: hematology (CBC including hemoglobin, WBC, RBC, total lymphocyte count); coagulation tests (prothrombin time, INR, fibrinogen); chemistry (C-reactive protein, d-dimer, ALT, AST, and serum creatinine). A laboratory result that is outside the reference range and is deemed not clinically significant by the principal investigator will not exclude the participant.
11. Has a BMI \>17 and ≤37 at screening.
Female participant-specific criteria:
12. Negative pregnancy serum test at screening, and negative urine pregnancy test before vaccination, if of reproductive potential.
13. Agrees to use an effective means of birth control from at least 21 days prior to enrollment through 24 weeks after study vaccination if assessed to be woman of childbearing potential UNLESS they fulfill one of the following criteria:
* At least 1 year postmenopausal.
* Surgically sterile.
Male participants must agree:
14. Not to father a child or donate sperm through study end.
15. To use a barrier (condom) means of birth control from vaccination through study end, if assessed to be of reproductive potential.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Pregnant or lactating female or plans to become pregnant or breastfeed starting from study vaccination through to study end.
2. Has any medical disease or condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, precludes study participation. This includes any acute, subacute, intermittent, or chronic medical disease or condition that:
* would place the participant at an unacceptable risk of injury,
* render the participant unable to comply with the requirements of the protocol,
* or may interfere with the evaluation of responses or the participant's successful completion of the trial (chronic conditions that are well-controlled and medically stable, i.e., no change in treatment for medical reasons occurred in the last 6 months and are allowed at the discretion of the principal investigator, e.g., hypertension, asthma, thyroid disease). The medical disease or condition also includes any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient conditions resulting from disease (e.g., malignancy, HIV infection) or immunosuppressive/cytotoxic therapies (e.g., medications used during cancer chemotherapy, organ transplantation or to treat autoimmune disorders).
3. Serology screen positive for infectious diseases (hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV 1 and 2, syphilis).
4. Known history of prior exposure to SUDV or prior diagnosis of SUVD.
5. Current diagnosis of COVID-19 by Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) or antigenic testing or current signs and symptoms of COVID-19. Participants may be enrolled 14 days post resolution of all signs and symptoms of COVID-19 or of testing positive for COVID-19 in asymptomatic participants.
6. History of or active status of any of the following clinically significant conditions:
* Serious adverse reactions to vaccines such as anaphylaxis, urticaria (hives), respiratory difficulty, angioedema, or abdominal pain.
* Allergic reaction to excipients in the study vaccine including gentamycin, neomycin or streptomycin or any other aminoglycoside.
* Diabetes mellitus type 1 or type 2.
* Active tuberculosis.
* Hereditary angioedema, acquired angioedema, or idiopathic forms of angioedema.
* Idiopathic urticaria within the last year.
* Bleeding disorder diagnosed by a doctor (e.g., factor deficiency, coagulopathy, or platelet disorder requiring special precautions), use of anticoagulant medications such as warfarin, apixaban, or dabigatran, or significant bruising or bleeding difficulties with IM injections or blood draws.
* Major thrombotic event or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia or Vaccine-Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT).
* Malignancy of any organ system, treated or untreated, within the past 5 years from screening (if diagnosed malignancy is 5 or more years prior to enrollment and cured with no ongoing treatment it will NOT be considered an exclusion).
* Seizure in the past 3 years or treatment for seizure disorder in the past 3 years.
* Asplenia or functional asplenia.
* Autoimmune disease/autoinflammatory condition.
* Any medical, psychiatric, social condition, occupational reason, or other responsibility that, in the judgment of the investigator, is a contraindication to protocol participation or impairs a participant's ability to give informed consent.
7. Has a clinically significant acute illness (this does not include minor illnesses) or temperature ≥38.0°Celsius (≥100.4° Fahrenheit) within 24 hours of the planned dose of study vaccine. Re-evaluation of eligibility may be performed at resolution of all signs and symptoms, and randomization at a later date is permitted at the discretion of the investigator and after consultation with the sponsor (as appropriate).
8. Receipt of any of the following substances:
* COVID-19 vaccine that has not received emergency use authorization or approval per local regulatory agency.
* Prior receipt of Ebola or Marburg vaccine.
* Prior receipt of any adenoviral-vectored vaccine, adenovirus-based or adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapies or treatments, including adenoviral COVID-19 vaccines or boosters.

10. Receipt of blood products within 3 months prior to enrollment.
11. Current anti-tuberculosis prophylaxis or therapy.
12. Abnormality or permanent body art (such as tattoo) in deltoid region that would interfere with ability to observe or assess injection site reactions.
