Exclusion Criteria
- Has an acute illness, as determined by the site investigator, within 72 hours prior to Screening or study vaccination. (a. An acute illness that is nearly resolved, with only minor residual symptoms remaining, is allowable if, in the opinion of the site investigator, the residual symptoms will not interfere with the ability of study staff to assess safety parameters as required by the protocol.) - Has had a positive COVID-19 test within the 90 days prior to Screening or study vaccination. - Current or planned participation in any other interventional clinical trial. - Prior receipt of a PIV5-based vaccine (e.g., CVXGA1, CVXGA35, or BLB201 [an RSV vaccine being developed by CyanVac/Blue Lake Biotechnology]). - Participation in research involving any investigational product within 45 days prior to Screening or study vaccination. - Receipt of any approved or authorized products intended to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection within 6 months prior to Screening (complete list provided in the pharmacy manual). - Receipt or anticipated receipt of, within 7 days prior through 31 days after study vaccination, any intranasal medication including FDA approved prescription or over-the-counter products or non-FDA approved alternative medicine products (e.g., intranasal Fluticasone {commonly used intranasal products that would be used, which is not herbal/naturopathic}, Ayurvedic oil or other naturopathic substances). - Anticipated use of nasal irrigation (e.g., Neti PotTM) from Screening through 31 days after study vaccination. - Receipt of blood products or immunoglobulins within 60 days prior to Screening or study vaccination. - Received influenza vaccination within 14 days prior to Screening or study vaccination, or any other vaccine within 30 days prior to Screening or study vaccination. - Any significant or uncontrolled autoimmune, immunodeficiency disease/condition, or autoinflammatory disorder (e.g. untreated or advanced human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] infection with CD4 counts <200 cells/mm3, history of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS] defining illness without immune reconstitution, or clinical manifestations of symptomatic HIV). - Unstable illness (acute or chronic illness) requiring significant medical monitoring and intervention during the 90 days prior to Screening or study vaccination. - History of myocarditis, pericarditis, or idiopathic cardiomyopathy, or presence of any medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, increases risk of myocarditis or pericarditis. - Administration of immunosuppressants, systemic glucocorticoids, or other immune-modifying drugs within the following timeframes: 1. B-cell therapies within the 6 months prior to Screening or study vaccination. 2. Prednisone, ≥20 mg for more than 2 weeks, within the 30 days prior to Screening or study vaccination. 3. Monoclonal antibodies that may suppress aspects of immune response (e.g., Dupixent) within the 6 months prior to Screening or study vaccination. 4. Other medications in this category, including but not limited to high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (>800 mcg/day of beclomethasone dipropionate or equivalent); antimetabolites; transplant immunosuppressive agents; alkylating agents; cell-depleting agents; or cancer chemotherapeutics, within the 90 days prior to Screening or study vaccination. 5. Any medication for any period of time that, in the opinion of the site investigator, could impede immune response to vaccination. - Individuals who have close contact or high-risk contact with persons who may be severely immunocompromised, within 14 days following the study vaccination. High-risk contacts include but are not limited to: 1. Residents of nursing homes or rehabilitation facilities 2. Persons of any age with any significant immunodeficiency disease (e.g., untreated or advanced HIV, history of AIDS, or clinical manifestations of HIV) 3. Persons of any age being administered immunosuppressants, systemic glucocorticoids, or other immune-modifying drugs 4. Persons of any age with a known history of significant airway reactivity to viruses (e.g., severe asthma, advanced chronic obstructive disease, or cystic fibrosis) 5. Persons of any age immunosuppressed due to cancer or undergoing active treatment for cancer 6. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or who plan to become pregnant during the study; and 7. Infants age ≤6 months. - Known contraindication to IM injection (e.g., bleeding diathesis, acquired coagulopathy) or to intranasal administration (e.g., severe nasal obstruction, significant chronic rhinitis, nasal septal defect causing significant breathing problems, unrepaired cleft palate, nasal polyps, or other nasal abnormality that, in the opinion of the investigator, may affect vaccine administration). - History of significant/severe wheezing or respiratory symptoms resulting in hospitalization or known bronchial hyperreactivity to viruses. - History of severe adverse reaction to vaccination in the past, including to COVID-19 vaccination. - Any known allergies to components contained in CVXGA or COMIRNATY (including polyethylene glycol [PEG] allergies), or latex. - Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or who plan to become pregnant during the study. - Any other condition that, in the opinion of the site investigator, would pose a health risk to the participant if enrolled or could interfere with evaluation of the investigational product or interpretation of study results. - Study team member or first-degree relative of any study team member (inclusive of CyanVac and site personnel involved in the study).

Detailed Description
This is a double-blind, active comparator-controlled Phase 2b study to evaluate the efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety study in which eligible adult participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive CVXGA (CVXGA50) or COMIRNATY. Number of Participants: The proposed enrollment for this study is approximately 10,000 participants, plus an additional 16 participants enrolled in Sentinel Cohort 1 and Sentinel Cohort 2 (8 participants in each cohort). Treatment Assignment: Participants in Sentinel Cohort 1 and Sentinel Cohort 2 will be assigned to receive a single dose of CVXGA (CVXGA50) intranasally and will not receive an IM placebo. All other participants in the study will be randomized 1:1 to receive a single dose of CVXGA (CVXGA50) intranasally (plus a single dose of IM placebo), or a single dose of IM COMIRNATY (plus a single dose of intranasal placebo). Study visits: Participants will be asked to complete approximately 6-7 clinic visits, over a period of approximately 12 months duration per participant.
