Table 1. Demographics and Baseline Characteristics of the Participants Included in the Safety Analysis Set.

NVX-CoV2373 was 5 μg recombinant spike protein with 50 μg Matrix-M1. BMI was calculated as weight (kg) divided by squared height (m). SARS-CoV-2 serostatus was determined by IgG antibody to recombinant spike protein (anti-spike IgG). Baseline serostatus was defined by antibody level detected by anti-spike IgG ELISA using GMT at Day 0. Percentages were based on safety analysis set within each treatment and overall.

Note: Values are represented as n (%), unless otherwise stated.
