Brief Summary

The AstraZeneca Study is a single-arm, open-label, interventional, Phase 3b study to determine the incidence of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 hospitalizations, disease severity, and deaths and attributable adverse events (AEs) in participants in Botswana given 1 to 2 injections of AZD1222 eight to twelve weeks apart as primary series and/or 1 injection as booster dose. Length of follow-up will be 6 to 12 months, depending upon at which dose a participant is enrolled.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all of the following criteria apply:
• Type of Participant
• Participants who have willingness and ability to comply with study requirements/procedures (if applicable, with assistance by legally authorised representative) based on the assessment of the investigator.
• Participants who have not yet received 3 doses of COVID-19 vaccine (2 as primary series and a booster dose). Persons who have received no prior vaccination are eligible to enroll at Day 0 to start a primary series. Persons who have received a single dose of COVID-19 vaccine at least 8 week prior (note that this includes persons who have received a single dose of Johnson \& Johnson vaccine) are eligible to enroll at Day 70 to complete their primary series and receive a booster dose 3 months thereafter. Persons who have received a primary series of COVID-19 vaccine at least 3 months prior are eligible to enroll at Day 170 to receive a booster.
• Informed Consent
• Capable of giving signed informed consent, as described in Appendix A, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol.
• Note: A separate informed consent will be used for optional sample collection.
• Provision of signed and dated written ICF prior to any mandatory study specific procedures, sampling, and analyses.
• Age
• Participant must be ≥ 18years of age at the time of signing the informed consent and residing in the catchment area of select hospitals in Botswana.

You may not qualify if:

• Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
• Prior/Concomitant Therapy
• Receipt of, or planned receipt of a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose, or any medications or investigational products indicated for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection or treatment of COVID-19.
• Note: For study participants who become hospitalised with COVID-19, receipt of licensed treatment options and/or participation in investigational treatment studies is permitted.
• Receipt of any vaccine (licensed or investigational) other than licensed influenza vaccines within 30 days prior to and after administration of study intervention (i.e. the first, second and booster doses). Outside these periods, other routine vaccinations are permitted as clinically indicated.
• Medical Conditions
• Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in Section 6.1.
• The participant reports being pregnant or nursing or has a positive pregnancy test at the time of enrolment or is planning on becoming pregnant within 6 months (for those enrolled at primary series dose 1) or 3 months (for those enrolled at primary series dose 2) of the first vaccination in the study.
• Additional details are described in Section 5.2.1.
• Individuals with risk factors for or reported history of thrombosis and/or thrombocytopenia.
• Clinically significant bleeding (eg, factor deficiency, coagulopathy, or platelet disorder) or prior history of significant bleeding or bruising following intramuscular injections or venepuncture.
• History of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
• Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient state, including Asplenia.
• Severe and/or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, gastrointestinal disease, liver disease, renal disease, endocrine disorder, and neurological illness, as judged by the investigator (mild/moderate well-controlled comorbidities are allowed).
• Any other significant disease, disorder, or finding that may significantly increase the risk to the participant because of participation in the study, affect the ability of the participant to participate in the study, or impair interpretation of the study data.

Model Details: AZD1222-00001 is a single-arm, Open-label, Phase 3b Study of the Incidence of Severe COVID 19 and Adverse Events Following AZD1222 COVID-19 Vaccination in Botswana Against SARS-CoV-2. Study participants are adults ≥ 18 years of age who have not already received a COVID-19 vaccine primary series and/or booster. Up to 50,000 participants are to be enrolled in the study. A total of 900 enrolled participants will also participate in a sub-study assessing the immunogenicity of AZD1222. These 900 participants in the sub-cohort will have additional assessments. Safety is assessed for the duration of the study. AEs are recorded at 4 weeks post the first, second and booster vaccination dose and quarterly; participants are contacted via text, or telephone call as part of follow up.
