Inclusion Criteria
- Individuals ≥ 18 years and ≤ 80 years of age at the time of consent 2. Willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, vaccination plan, laboratory tests and other study procedures 3. Determined by medical history, targeted physical examination and clinical judgement of the investigator to be in stable state of health. Screening laboratory values slightly outside lab normal ranges may be acceptable if the site investigator determines that they are not clinically significant. 4. Women of childbearing potential* must agree to use or have practiced true abstinence** or use at least one acceptable primary form of contraception.***, **** Note: These criteria are applicable to females in a heterosexual relationship and child-bearing potential (i.e., the criteria do not apply to subjects in a same sex relationship).*Not of childbearing potential: post-menopausal females (defined as having a history of amenorrhea for at least one year) or a documented status as being surgically sterile (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, tubal ligation/salpingectomy, or Essure® placement).**True abstinence is no sexual intercourse 100% of the time (i.e. male's penis never enters the female's vagina). Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post- ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.***Acceptable forms of primary contraception include monogamous relationship with a vasectomized partner who has been vasectomized for 180 days or more prior to the subject's vaccination, intrauterine devices, birth control pills, and injectable/implantable/insertable hormonal birth control products, condom, or diaphragm with spermicide. If barrier methods are to be used, then double barrier methods of protection are required, i.e., male condom, in combination with a cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide. ****Must use at least one acceptable primary form of contraception for at least 28 days prior to vaccination and at least one acceptable primary form of contraception for 90 days after last vaccination. If barrier methods are to be used, then double barrier methods of protection are required, i.e., male condom, in combination with a cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide. 5. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to each vaccination. 6. Male subjects of childbearing potential* must use condoms to ensure effective contraception with a female partner of childbearing potential from vaccination until 90 days after vaccination. Such female partners must also use an acceptable form of primary contraception as described under inclusion criterion #4. If barrier methods are to be used, then double barrier methods of protection are required, i.e., male condom, in combination with a cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide.*Biological males who are post-pubertal and considered fertile until permanently sterile by bilateral orchiectomy or vasectomy. 7. Male subjects agree to refrain from sperm donation from the time of vaccination until 90 days after vaccination. 8. Female subjects agree to refrain from egg donation from time of vaccination until 90 days after vaccination.

A history of anaphylaxis, urticaria, or other significant adverse reaction requiring medical intervention after receipt of a vaccine (licensed or unlicensed). 10. A history of myocarditis or pericarditis at any time prior to enrollment, history of Kawasaki disease, or history of multisystem inflammatory syndrome after COVID infection. 11. Received or plans to receive a vaccine within 14 days prior to or after study vaccine. 12. Bleeding disorder diagnosed by a healthcare provider (e.g., factor deficiency, coagulopathy, or platelet disorder requiring special precautions) or bleeding difficulties with intramuscular injections or blood draws. 13. Current or previous diagnosis of a significant immunocompromising condition or other immunosuppressive condition. 14. Resides with someone who is severely immunocompromised. 15. Advanced liver or kidney diseases. 16. Advanced (CD4 count < 200) and/or untreated HIV, active Hepatitis B virus infection, positive serology for Hepatitis C. 17. Received oral, intramuscular or intravenous systemic immunosuppressants, or immune-modifying drugs for >14 days in total within 6 months prior to administration of study vaccine (for corticosteroids > / = 20 mg/day of prednisone equivalent). 18. History of significant/severe wheeze, respiratory symptoms resulting in hospitalization, or known bronchial hyperreactivity to viruses. 19. Received immunoglobulin or blood-derived products, within 3 months prior to study vaccine dose. 20. Received chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiation therapy within 6 months prior to study vaccine dose. 21. Study personnel or an immediate family member or household member of study personnel. 22.

Detailed Description
This is a randomized, placebo controlled, blinded study to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of CVXGA. Trial Population: Up to 400 healthy adults (18-80 years) that may have had prior COVID vaccination or COVID infection at least 5 months prior to planned study vaccine receipt. Vaccine: CVXGA is a recombinant parainfluenza virus type 5 (PIV5) that carries the SARS-CoV-2 S protein. The vaccine will be administered as a single intranasal dose as a spray. Study visits: Participants will be asked to complete 3 clinic visits and 1 follow-up phone call. Participants >= 65 yrs of age will have an additional 2 clinic visits to test for vaccine shedding. Follow-up will be for 6 months after single vaccination.
