• Male subjects must agree to employ acceptable contraception from the day of first dose of the study vaccine/placebo until 30 days after the second dose of the study vaccine/placebo.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Confirmed or asymptomatic COVID-19 cases or SARS-CoV-2 infection(had positive in SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test or serological test).

• Had a history of traveling or residence in domestic area of high and moderate pandemic risk, overseas or epidemic areas, or had a history of contact with confirmed, asymptomatic or suspected COVID-19 cases within the past 14 days;

• History of SARS;

• Received SARS-CoV-2 vaccines for emergency use or approved SARS-CoV-2 vaccines;

• Individuals involving a clinical study within 6 months prior to the screening visit; or planning to participate in another clinical study during study period.

• Individual's systolic blood pressure = 150mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure = 100mmHg at screening visit

• Axillary temperature >=37.3? prior to vaccination

• Individuals in other acute diseases, or in the acute phase of chronic diseases within 3 days prior to the signing of the informed consent form.

• Received immunoglobulin and/or blood product 3 months prior to the first vaccination.

• Presence of uncontrolled chronic pulmonary, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, neurologic, hematologic or metabolic (including diabetes mellitus) disorders, which would include the potential subject in a high-risk category for SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or its complications as judged by the investigator..

• Individuals with a history of severe allergic reaction (throat swelling, difficult in breath, dyspnea, or shock).

• Individuals who have a history of severe adverse reaction associated with a vaccine or severe allergic reaction [e.g., anaphylaxis to any component of the study vaccines (S protein, Aluminum hydroxide, CpG adjuvant).

• Any autoimmune or immunodeficiency disease/condition [e.g. human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)]

• Received immunoglobulin, blood-derived products within 3 months prior to the first study vaccination.

• Abnormal coagulation function (such as coagulation factor deficiency, coagulation disease, platelet abnormality) obvious bruises or coagulopathy.

• Pregnant women or breastfeeding women.

• According to the judgment of the investigator, subject has or had any other symptoms, medical history and other factors that are not suitable for participating in this clinical trial.
