About this trial
The purpose of the current study is to assess the effectiveness of protein-based COVID-19 or influenza vaccines when given individually or together via oral/ sublingual mucosal route instead of intramuscular delivery. The comparator will be a seasonal influenza vaccine which will also be administered with Advax-CpG adjuvant via the oral route. This study will use a cross-over design and everyone in the study will over a space of about 4 months receive both the COVID-19 and influenza vaccines.
