2. Administration of another vaccine up to 28 days before or planning to receive another vaccine within 29 days following the V0 visit.
3. Absolute or relative contraindications to the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine:
* Confirmed prior anaphylaxis to mRNA vaccines or any of their components, especially polyethylene glycol (PEG).
* History of anaphylaxis to other vaccines or injectable medications.
* History of myocarditis or pericarditis prior to vaccination.
* History of multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C or MIS-A).
4. Previous diagnosis of immunodeficiency, autoimmune diseases, or cardiomyopathies.
5. Medium or large surgery performed up to 3 months prior to inclusion.
6. History of malignant neoplasm in the 12 months prior to screening (V-1).
7. Uncontrolled coagulopathy or any hematological condition that contraindicates intramuscular injection.

10. History of antineoplastic chemotherapy treatment.
11. Planning for the use of immunosuppressants or chemotherapeutic agents during the study period.

13. Use of blood products in the 3 months prior to inclusion.
14. Participation in another clinical study using an investigational product in the 12 months prior to inclusion.
15. Pregnancy or lactation at the time of visit V0, or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
16. Positive pregnancy test result at screening (visit V1) or on the day of vaccination (applicable to PEP).
17. Presence of tattoos, scars, discoloration, or any skin alteration at the application site that, in the investigator's opinion, may interfere with the assessment of local reactogenicity.
18. Any medical, psychological, or social condition that, in the investigator's opinion, may compromise the participant's safety, adherence to the protocol, or the integrity of the data.
19. Clinically significant changes in screening laboratory tests (visit V1):
