This COVID-19 vaccine uses a replication-deficient chimpanzee adenovirus vector encoding the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. It stimulates both humoral and cellular immunity to prevent COVID-19. Administered in two doses intramuscularly, it was one of the first vaccines deployed globally. It has demonstrated good efficacy and safety in preventing symptomatic disease, hospitalizations, and deaths.
