The purpose of the VBE00009 study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and immunogenicity of 2 administrations of the Acne mRNA vaccine candidate at single dose level in participants aged 18 to 45 years with mild acne. This study will consist of a Core Study followed by an optional Long-Term Extension (LTE). Core Study will include a Sentinel Cohort and a Main Cohort, with the Sentinel Cohort assessing the safety in a stepwise manner. If the participants consent to the LTE, they will be followed up for an additional 30 months after the last planned visit in the Core Study, to assess the long term effects of the vaccine.
