The main goals of this study are to assess the immune response and safety of two different vaccines for first, second, third and fourth doses as well as for differing intervals between the first and second dose of two-dose vaccines.
For dose 1 and 2, the currently available mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 and Moderna mRNA-1273) are two dose vaccines which were studied in schedules of either 0 and 21 days or 0 and 28 days, respectively. The ChAdOx1 nCOV-19 (Astra-Zeneca) adenovirus-vectored vaccine is authorized to be given in two doses one month to 12 weeks apart. We will compare the interval 0, 28 days to a 0, 112 days (16 weeks) schedule, and assess the immunogenicity of both heterogeneous and heterologous second doses using the Canadian schedule. For dose 3, the currently available mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 and Moderna mRNA-1273) and plant-based virus-like particle (Medicago Covifenz) are anticipated to be administered 6 months apart. We will assess the immunogenicity of both heterogeneous and heterologous third doses using the Canadian schedule. For dose 4, the currently available mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 and Moderna mRNA-1273) and plant-based virus-like particle (Medicago Covifenz) are anticipated to be administered 3 months apart. We will assess the immunogenicity of both heterogeneous and heterologous third doses using the Canadian schedule.

Antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 S protein after 2 doses
The co-primary outcome for the non-inferiority comparison of 0, 28-day schedules with heterologous second dose is the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 at day 56 (28 days after the second dose of vaccine) based on anti-spike antibody titers.
Time frame: Day 56
Antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 S protein after 2 doses
The co-primary outcome for the non-inferiority comparison of schedules in which the timing of the second dose of vaccine is different (0, 28 days v 0, 112 days) is the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 at day 140 (28 days after the last dose in the 0, 112 day schedule) based on anti-spike antibody titers.
Time frame: Day 140
Antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 S protein after 3 doses
To determine if a vaccination schedule with a heterologous third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine induces a non-inferior serum immune response to SARS-CoV-2, compared to a third dose/booster with a homologous vaccine.
Time frame: Day 28
Antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 S protein after 4 doses
To determine if a vaccination schedule with a heterologous fourth dose of a COVID-19 vaccine induces a non-inferior serum immune response to SARS-CoV-2, compared to a third dose/booster with a homologous vaccine.
Time frame: Day 28
Durability of antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 S over 12 months after 2 doses
Assess durability of immune responses in each study group over 12 months based on anti-spike antibody titers and pseudoneutralization assay.
Time frame: Baseline and Days 28, 56, 112, 140, 365
