Known history of a severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any component of COMIRNATY. (4)
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
-
Postmarketing data with authorized or approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccines demonstrate increased risks of myocarditis and pericarditis, particularly within the first week following vaccination. For COMIRNATY, the observed risk is highest in males 12 through 17 years of age. (5.2) -
Syncope (fainting) may occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines, including COMIRNATY. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting. (5.3)
5.1 Management of Acute Allergic Reactions
Appropriate medical treatment must be immediately available to manage potential anaphylactic reactions following administration of COMIRNATY.
5.2 Myocarditis and Pericarditis
Postmarketing data with authorized or approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccines demonstrate increased risks of myocarditis and pericarditis, particularly within the first week following vaccination. For COMIRNATY, the observed risk is highest in males 12 through 17 years of age. Although some cases required intensive care support, available data from short-term follow-up suggest that most individuals have had resolution of symptoms with conservative management. Information is not yet available about potential long-term sequelae.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has published considerations related to myocarditis and pericarditis after vaccination, including for vaccination of individuals with a history of myocarditis or pericarditis (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/myocarditis.html).
5.3 Syncope
Syncope (fainting) may occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines, including COMIRNATY. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting.
5.4 Altered Immunocompetence
Immunocompromised persons, including individuals receiving immunosuppressant therapy, may have a diminished immune response to COMIRNATY [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].
5.5 Limitation of Effectiveness
COMIRNATY may not protect all vaccine recipients.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a vaccine cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another vaccine and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Primary Series With COMIRNATY
The safety of a 2-dose primary series of COMIRNATY was evaluated in participants 12 years of age and older in 2 clinical studies conducted in Germany (Study 1), United States, Argentina, Brazil, Turkey, South Africa, and Germany (Study 2). Study BNT162-01 (Study 1) was a Phase 1/2, 2-part, dose-escalation trial that enrolled 60 participants, 18 through 55 years of age and 36 participants, 56 through 85 years of age. Study 2 was a Phase 1/2/3 multicenter, randomized, saline placebo-controlled, double-blinded (Phase 2/3), dose finding-, vaccine candidate-selection and efficacy study that enrolled approximately 46,000 participants 12 years of age or older. Of these, approximately 2,260 participants were 12 through 15 years of age (1,131 COMIRNATY; 1,129 placebo) and 754 were 16 through 17 years of age (378 COMIRNATY; 376 placebo). In all, 44,047 participants in Phase 2/3 were 16 years of age or older (22,026 COMIRNATY; 22,021 placebo).
Study 2 included 200 participants with confirmed stable human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Confirmed stable HIV infection was defined as documented viral load <50 copies/mL and CD4 count >200 cells/mm3 within 6 months before enrollment, and on stable antiretroviral therapy for at least 6 months. HIV-positive participants are included in the safety population but are summarized separately in the safety analyses.
In Study 2, participants 12 years and older in the reactogenicity subset were monitored using an electronic diary for solicited local and systemic reactions and use of antipyretic medication after each vaccination. Participants were also monitored for unsolicited adverse events throughout the study (from Dose 1 through 1 month [all unsolicited adverse events] or through 6 months [serious adverse events] after the last vaccination). Tables 2 and 3 present the frequency and severity of solicited local and systemic reactions, respectively, within 7 days following any dose of COMIRNATY.
Adolescents 12 Through 15 Years of Age
In Study 2, 2,260 adolescents (1,131 COMIRNATY; 1,129 placebo) were 12 through 15 years of age. At the time of the analysis of the ongoing Study 2 with a data cutoff of September 2, 2021, there were 1,559 (69.0%) adolescents (786 COMIRNATY and 773 placebo) 12 through 15 years of age followed for ≥4 months after the second dose.
Demographic characteristics in Study 2 were generally similar with regard to age, gender, race, and ethnicity among adolescents who received COMIRNATY and those who received placebo. Overall, among the adolescents who received COMIRNATY, 50.1% were male and 49.9% were female, 85.8% were White, 4.6% were Black or African American, 11.7% were Hispanic/Latino, 6.4% were Asian, and 0.4% were American Indian/Alaska Native.
Local and Systemic Adverse Reactions Solicited in Study 2
In adolescents 12 through 15 years of age after receiving Dose 2, the mean duration of pain at the injection site was 2.5 days (range 1 to 11 days), for redness 1.8 days (range 1 to 5 days), and for swelling 1.6 days (range 1 to 5 days) in the COMIRNATY group.

Unsolicited Adverse Events in Study 2
In Study 2, 2,260 adolescents (1,131 COMIRNATY; 1,129 placebo) were 12 through 15 years of age. Of these, 634 (56.1%) participants in the COMIRNATY group and 629 (55.7%) participants in the placebo group had follow-up time between ≥4 months to <6 months after Dose 2 in the blinded placebo-controlled follow-up period with an additional 152 (13.4%) and 144 (12.8%) with ≥6 months of blinded follow-up time in the COMIRNATY and placebo groups, respectively.
A total of 1,113 (98.4%) participants 12 through 15 years of age originally randomized to COMIRNATY had ≥6 months total (blinded and unblinded) follow-up after Dose 2. An analysis of all unsolicited adverse events in Study 2 from Dose 1 up to the participant unblinding date was conducted. Among participants 12 through 15 years of age who received at least 1 dose of study vaccine, unsolicited adverse events were reported by 95 (8.4%) participants in the COMIRNATY group and 113 (10.0%) participants in the placebo group.
In an analysis of all unsolicited adverse events reported during blinded follow-up from Dose 1 through 1 month after Dose 2, in adolescents 12 to 15 years of age, those assessed as adverse reactions not already captured by solicited local and systemic reactions were lymphadenopathy (9 vs. 2), and nausea (5 vs. 2).
In the analysis of blinded, placebo-controlled follow-up, there were no other notable patterns or numerical imbalances between treatment groups for specific categories of unsolicited adverse events (including other neurologic or neuro-inflammatory, and thrombotic events) that would suggest a causal relationship to COMIRNATY. In the analysis of unblinded follow-up, there were no notable patterns of specific categories of non-serious adverse events that would suggest a causal relationship to COMIRNATY.
Serious Adverse Events
In Study 2, among participants 12 through 15 years of age who had received at least 1 dose of vaccine or placebo (COMIRNATY = 1,131; placebo = 1,129), serious adverse events from Dose 1 up to the participant unblinding date in ongoing follow-up were reported by 10 (0.9%) COMIRNATY recipients and 2 (0.2%) placebo recipients. In these analyses, 69.0% of study participants had at least 4 months of follow-up after Dose 2. In the analysis of blinded, placebo-controlled follow-up, there were no notable patterns between treatment groups for specific categories of serious adverse events (including neurologic, neuro-inflammatory, and thrombotic events) that would suggest a causal relationship to COMIRNATY. In the analysis of unblinded follow-up, there were no notable patterns of specific categories of serious adverse events that would suggest a causal relationship to COMIRNATY.
Participants 16 Years of Age and Older
At the time of the analysis of Study 2 with a data cutoff of March 13, 2021, there were 25,651 (58.2%) participants (13,031 COMIRNATY; 12,620 placebo) 16 years of age and older followed for ≥4 months after the second dose.
Demographic characteristics in Study 2 were generally similar with regard to age, gender, race, and ethnicity among participants who received COMIRNATY and those who received placebo. Overall, among the total participants who received either COMIRNATY or placebo, 50.9% were male, 49.1% were female, 79.3% were 16 through 64 years of age, 20.7% were 65 years of age and older, 82.0% were White, 9.6% were Black or African American, 25.9% were Hispanic/Latino, 4.3% were Asian, and 1.0% were American Indian or Alaska Native.
Local and Systemic Adverse Reactions Solicited in the Study 2
In participants 16 through 55 years of age after receiving Dose 2, the mean duration of pain at the injection site was 2.5 days (range 1 to 70 days), for redness 2.2 days (range 1 to 9 days), and for swelling 2.1 days (range 1 to 8 days) for participants in the COMIRNATY group.
In participants 56 years of age and older after receiving Dose 2, the mean duration of pain at the injection site was 2.4 days (range 1 to 36 days), for redness 3.0 days (range 1 to 34 days), and for swelling 2.6 days (range 1 to 34 days) for participants in the COMIRNATY group.
| Notes: Reactions were collected in the electronic diary (e-diary) from Day 1 to Day 7 after vaccination. No Grade 4 solicited local reactions were reported in participants 16 through 55 years of age. |

In participants with chronic, stable HIV infection the frequencies of solicited local and systemic adverse reactions were similar to or lower than those observed for all participants 16 years of age and older.
Unsolicited Adverse Events
Overall, 11,253 (51.1%) participants 16 years of age and older in the COMIRNATY group and 11,316 (51.4%) participants in the placebo group had follow-up time between ≥4 months to <6 months after Dose 2 in the blinded placebo-controlled follow-up period with an additional 1,778 (8.1%) and 1,304 (5.9%) with ≥6 months of blinded follow-up time in the COMIRNATY and placebo groups, respectively.
A total of 12,006 (54.5%) participants originally randomized to COMIRNATY had ≥6 months total (blinded and unblinded) follow-up after Dose 2.
In an analysis of all unsolicited adverse events reported following any dose, through 1 month after Dose 2, in participants 16 years of age and older (N=43,847; 21,926 COMIRNATY group vs. 21,921 placebo group), those assessed as adverse reactions not already captured by solicited local and systemic reactions were nausea (274 vs. 87), malaise (130 vs. 22), lymphadenopathy (83 vs. 7), asthenia (76 vs. 25), decreased appetite (39 vs. 9), hyperhidrosis (31 vs. 9), lethargy (25 vs. 6), and night sweats (17 vs. 3).
In analyses of all unsolicited adverse events in Study 2 from Dose 1 up to the participant unblinding date, 58.2% of study participants had at least 4 months of follow-up after Dose 2. Among participants 16 through 55 years of age who received at least 1 dose of study vaccine, 12,995 of whom received COMIRNATY and 13,026 of whom received placebo, unsolicited adverse events were reported by 4,396 (33.8%) participants in the COMIRNATY group and 2,136 (16.4%) participants in the placebo group. In a similar analysis in participants 56 years of age and older that included 8,931 COMIRNATY recipients and 8,895 placebo recipients, unsolicited adverse events were reported by 2,551 (28.6%) participants in the COMIRNATY group and 1,432 (16.1%) participants in the placebo group. Among participants with confirmed stable HIV infection that included 100 COMIRNATY recipients and 100 placebo recipients, unsolicited adverse events were reported by 29 (29%) participants in the COMIRNATY group and 15 (15%) participants in the placebo group. The higher frequency of reported unsolicited adverse events among COMIRNATY recipients compared to placebo recipients was primarily attributed to events that are consistent with adverse reactions solicited among participants in the reactogenicity subset (Table 6 and Table 7).
Throughout the placebo-controlled safety follow-up period, Bell's palsy (facial paralysis) was reported by 4 participants in the COMIRNATY group and 2 participants in the placebo group. Onset of facial paralysis was Day 37 after Dose 1 (participant did not receive Dose 2) and Days 3, 9, and 48 after Dose 2. In the placebo group the onset of facial paralysis was Day 32 and Day 102. Currently available information is insufficient to determine a causal relationship with the vaccine. In the analysis of blinded, placebo-controlled follow-up, there were no other notable patterns or numerical imbalances between treatment groups for specific categories of non-serious adverse events (including other neurologic or neuro-inflammatory, and thrombotic events) that would suggest a causal relationship to COMIRNATY. In the analysis of unblinded follow-up, there were no notable patterns of specific categories of non-serious adverse events that would suggest a causal relationship to COMIRNATY.
Serious Adverse Events
Participants 16 through 55 years of age in Study 2 who had received at least 1 dose of vaccine or placebo (COMIRNATY = 12,995; placebo = 13,026), reported serious adverse events from Dose 1 up to the participant unblinding date in ongoing follow-up as follows: 103 (0.8%) COMIRNATY recipients and 117 (0.9%) placebo recipients. In a similar analysis, in participants 56 years of age and older (8,931 COMIRNATY group and 8,895 placebo group), serious adverse events were reported by 165 (1.8%) COMIRNATY recipients and 151 (1.7%) placebo recipients who received at least 1 dose of COMIRNATY or placebo, respectively. In these analyses, 58.2% of study participants had at least 4 months of follow-up after Dose 2. Among participants with confirmed stable HIV infection serious adverse events from Dose 1 up to the participant unblinding date in ongoing follow-up were reported by 2 (2%) COMIRNATY recipients and 2 (2%) placebo recipients.
In the analysis of blinded, placebo-controlled follow-up, there were no notable patterns between treatment groups for specific categories of serious adverse events (including neurologic, neuro-inflammatory, and thrombotic events) that would suggest a causal relationship to COMIRNATY. In the analysis of unblinded follow-up, there were no notable patterns of specific categories of serious adverse events that would suggest a causal relationship to COMIRNATY.
First Booster Dose With COMIRNATY Following the Primary Series
12 Through 15 Years of Age
A subset of 825 Study 2 Phase 2/3 participants 12 through 15 years of age received a booster dose of COMIRNATY 11.2 months (median time, range 6.3 to 20.1 months) after completing the primary series and had a median follow-up time of 9.5 months up to a data cutoff date of November 3, 2022. The median age of participants was 14.0 years (range 13 through 15 years of age), 49.3% were male and 50.7% were female, 83.5% were White, 10.8% were Hispanic/Latino, 4.6% were Black or African American, 7.5% were Asian, and 0.4% were American Indian/Alaska Native.
Adverse reactions reported in participants receiving a booster dose of COMIRNATY were similar to those previously observed in participants receiving COMIRNATY as part of the primary series.
