    Abstract: Vaccines that induce a broadly neutralising immune response to protect against disease caused by beta-coronaviruses, especially beta-coronaviruses of the sarbecovirus and merbecovirus lineages, are described. The vaccines are provided by use of phylogenetically-, and epitope-optimised sarbecovirus and merbecovirus RBD subunits. The vaccines are provided as nucleic acid vaccines, either as separate polynucleotides, each encoding a different RBD subunit (or RBD dimer), or pieced together in a string as a single polynucleotide encoding all of the RBD subunits (or RBD dimers). The separate polynucleotides may be administered as a mixture together, co-administered, or administered sequentially in any order. Polynucleotides, polypeptides, vectors, cells, fusion proteins, pharmaceutical compositions, combined preparations, and their use as vaccines against viruses of the coronavirus family are described. Methods of inducing an immune response to, or immunising a subject against, a beta-coronavirus in a subject by administering an effective amount of a vaccine to the subject are also described.
