説明

<jats:title>Significance</jats:title> <jats:p>The highly attenuated vaccinia virus MVA is licensed as smallpox vaccine; as a vector it is a component of the approved adenovirus-MVA–based prime-boost vaccine against Ebola virus disease. Here, we provide results from testing the COVID-19 candidate vaccine MVA-SARS-2-S, a poxvirus-based vector vaccine that proceeded to clinical evaluation. When administered by intramuscular inoculation, MVA-SARS-2-S expresses and safely delivers the full-length SARS-CoV-2 S protein, inducing balanced SARS-CoV-2–specific cellular and humoral immunity, and protective efficacy in vaccinated mice. Substantial clinical experience has been gained with MVA vectors using homologous and heterologous prime-boost applications, including the immunization of children and immunocompromised individuals. Thus, MVA-SARS-2-S represents an important resource for developing further optimized COVID-19 vaccines.</jats:p>
