* Or not be of reproductive potential, such as having reached menopause (no menses for 1 year without an alternative medical cause) or having undergone hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation.
For male participants: Willing to use an effective method of contraception with their partner (condoms) from the first day of IMP administration until 4 months after the administration. This also applies to sperm donation.
12. Willingness to undertake SARS-CoV-2 testing according to trial protocol, and receive SARS-CoV-2 test results.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Acute febrile infection (body temperature ≥ 38.0°C) within the previous 72 hours and/or presenting symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 infection within the previous 28 days or having been in contact with an infected individual for the last 14 days before the inclusion visit.
2. Immunosuppressive medications received within the last three months before IMP administration or within 6 months for chemotherapies. (Not excluded: \[1\] corticosteroid nasal spray; \[2\] topical corticosteroids for mild, uncomplicated dermatitis; or \[3\] a single course of oral/parenteral corticosteroids at doses \< 2 mg/kg/day and length of therapy \< 11 days with completion at least 30 days prior to enrolment). The scheduled use of these treatments up to 6 months after the injection also represents a contraindication.
3. Immunoglobulins and/or monoclonal antibodies within 90 days before IMP administration. The scheduled use of these treatments up to 6 months after the injection also represents a contraindication.
4. Blood products, including convalescent plasma, within 120 days before IMP administration. The scheduled use of these treatments up to 6 months after the injection also represents a contraindication.
5. Any medical condition that could impair the immune response: clinically significant medical condition (like cancer), clinical examination findings, clinically significant abnormal laboratory results, or past medical history with clinically significant implications for current health. A clinically significant condition or process includes but is not limited to:
* A process that would affect the immune response;
* A process that would require medication that affects the immune response;
* Any contraindication to repeated injections or blood draws;
* A condition that requires active medical intervention or monitoring to avert grave danger to the participant's health or well-being during the trial period;
* A condition or process for which signs or symptoms could be confused with reactions to vaccine;
* Any condition specifically listed among the exclusion criteria below.
6. Intent to participate in another trial of an investigational research agent within 4 weeks prior to the enrolment visit or until the end of follow-up.
7. Under tutorship, guardianship, or deprived of liberty by a juridical or administrative decision.
8. Pregnancy or breastfeeding that is currently ongoing, or positive pregnancy test at screening visit and the day of the vaccination.
9. History of severe adverse events following vaccine administration including anaphylactic reaction and associated symptoms such as rash, breathing problems, angioedema, and abdominal pain, or a history of allergic reaction that could be triggered by a component of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine at the time of the vaccine injection (Not excluded: a participant who had a non-anaphylactic adverse reaction to pertussis vaccine as a child).
10. Any bleeding disorder considered as a contraindication to an intramuscular injection, previous phlebotomy, or receipt of anticoagulants.
11. A condition that requires active medical intervention or monitoring to avert grave danger to asthma other than mild, well-controlled asthma (symptoms of asthma severity as defined in the most recent National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) Expert Panel report). Exclude a subject who:
* Uses a short-acting rescue inhaler (typically a beta 2 agonist) daily, or
* Uses moderate/high dose inhaled corticosteroids, or
* In the past year has either of the following: (i) Greater than 1 exacerbation of symptoms treated with oral/parenteral corticosteroids or (ii) Needed emergency care, urgent care, hospitalization, or intubation for asthma.
12. Hypertension:
* If a person has been diagnosed with hypertension, exclude for blood pressure that is not well controlled (well-controlled blood pressure is defined as consistently ≤ 140 mm Hg systolic and ≤ 90 mm Hg diastolic, with or without medication, with only isolated, brief instances of higher readings, which must be ≤ 150 mm Hg systolic and ≤ 100 mm Hg diastolic). For these participants, blood pressure must be ≤ 140 mm Hg systolic and ≤ 90 mm Hg diastolic at enrolment
* If a person has NOT been diagnosed with hypertension, exclude for systolic blood pressure ≥ 150 mm Hg at enrolment or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mm Hg at enrolment (the measurement must be performed on a person who has been lying down for at least 5 minutes and repeated at the end of the consultation, if appropriated). Tension must be confirmed outside the clinical site to rule hypertension.

14. Malignancy (Not excluded: participant who has had malignancy excised surgically and who, in the investigator's estimation, has a reasonable assurance of sustained cure, or who is unlikely to experience recurrence of malignancy during the period of the trial).
15. Asplenia: any condition resulting in the absence of a functional spleen.
16. Seizure disorder: History of seizure(s) within the past three years. Also exclude if Participants have used medications to prevent or treat seizure(s) at any time within the past 3 years.
17. History of hereditary angioedema, acquired angioedema, or idiopathic angioedema.

19. History of autoimmune disease.
20. Any medical, occupational, or other condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, would interfere with or serve as a contraindication to protocol adherence, assessment of safety or reactogenicity, or a participant's ability to give informed consent.
21. Psychiatric condition that precludes compliance with the protocol. Specifically excluded are persons with psychoses within the past 3 years, ongoing risk for suicide, or history of suicide attempt or gesture within the past 3 years.
22. Any vaccination received within 30 days before IMP administration.
23. Allergy treatment with antigen injections within 30 days before IMP administration. The scheduled use of these treatments up to 6 months after the injection also represents a contraindication.
24.
