Both SARS-CoV-2 mRNA and mucosal vaccines induce protective immunity against COVID-19 but showed different immune profiles. We conducted a longitudinal head-to-head analysis of the safety and immunogenicity of the aerosolized adenovirus-vectored and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. 450 participants were enrolled and randomly assigned into three groups to be vaccinated with an aerosolized Ad5-vectored bivalent vaccine (wild-type and BA.5, Ad5-CoV5T), an intramuscular bivalent mRNA vaccine (mbO5), and an aerosolized wild-type Ad5-vectored vaccine (Ad5-nCoV). The primary outcomes were adverse reactions within 28 days and anti-XBB.1.5-specific neutralizing antibody titers at day 28 after vaccination. The secondary outcome assessed safety within 30 min, serious adverse event within 6 months, and the persistence of anti-XBB.1.5/BA.5-specific neutralizing antibodies during the 6 months. Both the vaccines were well tolerated, but participants vaccinated with mbO5 reported more adverse reactions (73.3% mbO5 vaccinees vs. 28.7% aerosol vaccinees). No serious adverse events were recorded. The Ad5-CoV5T vaccine induced a superior anti-XBB.1.5-specific neutralizing titer than Ad5-nCoV at day 28 (geometric mean titer ratio of 1.48, 95% CI 1.12-1.97), while the mbO5 vaccine induced the highest antibody titer. The neutralizing antibodies were declined at month 6 and were similar across the three groups. In the pre-specified exploratory analysis, the mbO5 and the aerosolized vaccines induced comparabl...
