About this trial

This clinical trial included two parts, Part A and Part B. The goal of Part A is to evaluate the safety and preliminary immunogenicity of the lyophilized herpes zoster virus mRNA vaccine (HZ mRNA vaccine) in healthy populations aged 40 years and older. The goal of Part B is to select the optimal dosage and schedule in healthy populations aged 50 years and older to support next further study.
