Brief Summary  

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety, reactogenicity, tolerability of the booster dose of whole-virion inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, BBV152.

In this study, participants who were already vaccinated with BBV152B (as part of the phase 2 trial) will visit the site (one week after 6 months visit). On this visit, consent will re-obtained for Arm 2 participants and they will be randomized to receive either vaccine or placebo. All these participants will be followed up for 6 months after the third dose for their safety and immunogenicity
