Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an open, randomized, multicenter clinical trial.

Objectives:

* To describe the safety profiles during the 21 days following each primary and booster injection.
* To describe the immune response 21 days after each primary and booster injection of each formulation.
* To describe the antibody persistence after the first vaccination
