visits or procedures may be performed at the discretion of the investigators, e.g., further
medical history and physical examination, or additional blood tests and other investigations
if clinically relevant

section 5.2 of this protocol;

- Serology with SARS-CoV-2 negative IgG antibodies; This inclusion criteria does not
apply to participants enrolled from version 4.0 of the protocol onwards.

- Willing to allow investigators to discuss the participant's clinical history with
their GP/personal physician and access medical records relevant to the study
procedures

and vaccination day(s);

- Consent to abstain from blood donation during the course of the study;

- Provide informed consent in writing

Exclusion Criteria:

- Participation in trials of prophylactic drugs for COVID-19 during the course of the
study; Note: Participation in COVID-19 treatment trials is permitted in case of
hospitalization due to COVID-19, after confirmation of positive PCR. The study team
should be informed as soon as possible. Participants with COVID-19 not hospitalized
with positive PCR results for COVID-19 may be medicated according to standard clinical
practice.

- Participation in SARS-CoV-2 serological research where participants are informed of
their serological status during the course of the study;

- Planned receipt of any vaccine (authorized or investigational), within 30 days before
and after vaccination;

- Prior receipt of an investigational vaccine or authorized with the possibility of
impacting the interpretation of the study data (for example, vaccines vectorized by
Adenovirus, any vaccines against coronavirus);

- Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products in the three months prior
to the planned administration of the candidate vaccine;

- Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficiency state; asplenia;
severe recurrent infections and chronic use (more than 14 days) of immunosuppressive
medication in the last 6 months, except for topical steroids or short-term oral
steroids (cycle lasting ≤14 days);

- History of allergic disease or reactions possibly exacerbated by any component of
ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 or MenACWY or paracetamol;

- Any history of angioedema;

- Any history of anaphylaxis;

- Pregnancy, lactation or willingness/intention to become pregnant during the study;

- Current diagnosis or treatment for cancer (except basal cell carcinoma of the skin and
cervical carcinoma in situ);

- History of severe psychiatric illness that possibly affects your participation in the
study;

disorder), or a previous history of significant bleeding or bruising after IM
injections or venipuncture;

- Current suspected or known dependence on alcohol or drugs;

- Severe and/or uncontrolled cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases,
gastrointestinal diseases, liver disease, kidney disease, endocrine disorder, and
neurological disease (mild/moderate well-controlled comorbidities are allowed);

- History of COVID-19 confirmed by laboratory;

- Seropositive for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 before recruitment; This exclusion criteria
does not apply to participants enrolled from version 4.0 of the protocol onwards

- Continued use of anticoagulants, such as coumarins and related anticoagulants (for
example, warfarin) or new oral anticoagulants (for example, apixaban, rivaroxaban,
dabigatran and edoxaban);

- Any other significant illness, disorder or finding that may significantly increase the
risk for the participant, affect his/her ability to participate in the study or impair
the interpretation of the study data.

Re-vaccination exclusion criteria (two-dose groups only)

- Anaphylactic reaction following administration of vaccine

- Pregnancy
