• Upon authorization by the European Commission, the Omicron KP.2-adapted COVID-19 vaccine will be available for individuals 6 months of age and older
• Data demonstrate that the Omicron KP.2-adapted COVID-19 vaccine generates a substantially improved response against multiple circulating Omicron JN.1 sublineages as did the Omicron JN.1-adapted COVID-19 vaccine authorized by the European Commission in July 2024
• Doses will be ready to ship to applicable European Union member states as soon as possible upon European Commission authorization

NEW YORK and MAINZ, GERMANY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2024 — Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE, “Pfizer”) and BioNTech SE (Nasdaq: BNTX, “BioNTech”) today announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (“CHMP”) of the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) has recommended marketing authorization for the companies’ Omicron KP.2-adapted monovalent COVID-19 vaccine (COMIRNATY^® KP.2) for active immunization to prevent COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 6 months of age and older. The European Commission (“EC”) will review the CHMP’s recommendation and is expected to make a final decision soon. Following the EC decision, Pfizer and BioNTech’s Omicron KP.2-adapted COVID-19 vaccine will ship to European Union (“EU”) member states that have specifically ordered this formulation.

The CHMP recommendation dated September 19, 2024, is based on the non-clinical and manufacturing data of the Omicron KP.2-adapted vaccine and the clinical and real-world evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of prior formulas of the COVID-19 vaccines by Pfizer and BioNTech. The non-clinical data showed that the KP.2-adapted vaccine generates a substantially improved response against multiple currently circulating Omicron JN.1 sublineages, including KP.2, LB.1, KP.3, and KP.3.1.1, compared with the companies’ Omicron XBB.1.5-adapted COVID-19 vaccine.¹

In July 2024, the EC granted marketing authorization for Pfizer and BioNTech’s Omicron JN.1-adapted COVID-19 vaccine. This authorization was based on evidence showing that the JN.1-adapted COVID-19 vaccine generates a substantially improved response against multiple Omicron JN.1 sublineages, including KP.2, LB.1, KP.3, and KP.3.1.1, as compared with the companies’ Omicron XBB. 1.5-adapted COVID-19 vaccine.

Pending authorization of the Omicron KP.2-adapted vaccine by the EC, both the Omicron KP.2-adapted vaccine and the Omicron JN.1-adapted vaccine will be available across the EU, though availability will vary based on individual country government requests and national recommendations.

In the United States, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the companies’ Omicron KP.2-adapted COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 12 years of age and older and granted emergency use authorization for individuals 6 months through 11 years of age on August 22, 2024. Pfizer and BioNTech will continue to monitor the evolving epidemiology of COVID-19 and remain prepared to develop modified vaccine formulas as the data support and as regulatory agencies recommend.

The COVID-19 vaccines (COMIRNATY^®) by Pfizer and BioNTech are based on BioNTech’s proprietary mRNA technology and were developed by both companies. BioNTech is the Marketing Authorization Holder for COMIRNATY^® and its adapted vaccines in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other countries, and the holder of emergency use authorizations or equivalents in the United States (jointly with Pfizer) and other countries.

AUTHORIZED USE IN THE EU:

COMIRNATY^® ▼ has been granted standard marketing authorization (MA) by the European Commission to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in individuals from the age of 6 months. The vaccine is administered as a single dose in people 5 years of age and older, and as a three-dose series, in infants and children from 6 months to 4 years who have not had COVID-19 with the first two doses are given three weeks apart, followed by a third dose given at least 8 weeks after the second dose. Adults and adolescents from the age of 12 are given 30 micrograms per dose; children aged 5 to 11 years are given 10 micrograms per dose; infants and children aged 6 months to 4 years are given 3 micrograms per dose. Additional doses may be administered to individuals aged 5 years and older who are severely immunocompromised in accordance with national recommendations. The European Medicines Agency’s (EMA’s) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has completed its rigorous evaluation of COMIRNATY, concluding by consensus that sufficiently robust data on the quality, safety and efficacy of the vaccine are available.

COMIRNATYJN.1 contains mRNA encoding for the spike protein of the JN.1 subvariant of SARS-CoV-2.

COMIRNATY JN.1may be administered as a single dose regardless of prior vaccination status in people aged 5 years and older. Children from 6 months to 4 years of age may have one or three doses depending on whether they have completed a primary vaccination course or have had COVID-19. There should be an interval of at least 3 months between administration of COMIRNATY JN.1 and the last prior dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

• Events of anaphylaxis have been reported. Appropriate medical treatment and supervision should always be readily available in case of an anaphylactic reaction following the administration of the vaccine.
• There is an increased, but very rare risk (<1/10,000 cases) of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination with COMIRNATY. These conditions can develop within just a few days after vaccination and have primarily occurred within 14 days. They have been observed more often after the second vaccination, and more often in younger males. Available data indicate that most cases recover. Some cases required intensive care support and fatal cases have been observed.
• From post-marketing experience very rare adverse reactions of myocarditis and pericarditis, uncommon incidence of dizziness; common incidence of vomiting, very common diarrhoea and unknown incidence (cannot be estimated from available data) of, paraesthesia, hypoaesthesia and erythema multiforme, extensive swelling of vaccinated limb, facial swelling (in vaccine recipients with a history of injection of dermatological fillers) have been identified.
• Anxiety-related reactions, including vasovagal reactions (syncope), hyperventilation or stress‐related reactions (e.g. dizziness, palpitations, increases in heart rate, alterations in blood pressure, paresthesia, hypoesthesia and sweating) may occur in association with the vaccination process itself. Stress-related reactions are temporary and resolve on their own. Individuals should be advised to bring symptoms to the attention of the vaccination provider for evaluation. It is important that precautions are in place to avoid injury from fainting.
• Vaccination should be postponed in individuals suffering from acute severe febrile illness or acute infection. The presence of a minor infection and/or low-grade fever should not delay vaccination.
• As with other intramuscular injections, the vaccine should be given with caution in individuals receiving anticoagulant therapy or those with thrombocytopenia or any coagulation disorder (such as haemophilia) because bleeding or bruising may occur following an intramuscular administration in these individuals.
• The efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine has not been assessed in immunocompromised individuals, including those receiving immunosuppressant therapy. The efficacy of COMIRNATY JN.1may be lower in immunosuppressed individuals.
• As with any vaccine, vaccination with COMIRNATY JN.1 may not protect all vaccine recipients. Individuals may not be fully protected until 7 days after their vaccination.
• Adverse reactions observed during clinical studies and identified after post authorization experience are listed below according to the following frequency categories: Very common (≥ 1/10), Common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10), Uncommon (≥ 1/1,000 to < 1/100), Rare (≥ 1/10,000 to < 1/1,000), Very rare (< 1/10,000).
  • Very common side effects: injection site pain, injection site swelling, fever, chills, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, diarrhea.
  • Common side effects: injection site redness, nausea, vomiting, enlarged lymph nodes (more frequently observed after a booster dose).
  • Uncommon side effects: feeling unwell, arm pain, insomnia, dizziness, injection site itching, allergic reactions such as rash, itching, feeling weak or lack of energy/sleepy, decreased appetite, excessive sweating, night sweats.
  • Rare side effects: temporary one-sided facial drooping, allergic reactions such as hives or swelling of the face.
  • Very rare side effects: inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis) or inflammation of the lining outside the heart (pericarditis), which can result in breathlessness, palpitations or chest pain.
  • Not known incidence (cannot be estimated from the available data): anaphylaxis, extensive swelling of vaccinated limbs; facial swelling, pins and needles/tingling, reduced sense of touch or sensation, a skin reaction that causes red spots or patches on the skin, heavy menstrual bleeding.
• Overdose data is available from 52 study participants included in the clinical trial that due to an error in dilution received 58 micrograms of COMIRNATY. The vaccine recipients did not report an increase in reactogenicity or adverse reactions. In the event of overdose, monitoring of vital functions and possible symptomatic treatment is recommended.
• A large amount of observational data from pregnant women vaccinated with the initially approved COMIRNATY vaccine during the second and third trimester have not shown an increase in adverse pregnancy outcomes. While data on pregnancy outcomes following vaccination during the first trimester are presently limited, no increased risk for miscarriage has been seen. No data are available yet regarding the use of COMIRNATY JN.1during pregnancy. Based on data available with other vaccine variants, COMIRNATY JN.1can be used during pregnancy.
• No data are available yet regarding the use of COMIRNATY JN.1during breast-feeding. Observational data from women who were breast-feeding after vaccination with the initially approved COMIRNATY vaccine have not shown a risk for adverse effects in breast-fed newborns/infants. COMIRNATY JN.1can be used during breast-feeding.
• Interactions with other medicinal products or concomitant administration of COMIRNATY JN.1with other vaccines has not been studied in 3 mcg and 10 mcg dose. For 30 mcg dose, COMIRNATY JN.1may be administered concomitantly with seasonal influenza vaccine. Different injectable vaccines should be given at different injection sites.
• Animal studies with COMIRNATY Original do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity.
• The most frequent adverse reactions in infants 6 to 23 months of age that received any primary course dose included irritability (> 60%), drowsiness (> 40%), decreased appetite (> 30%), tenderness at the injection site (> 20%), injection site redness and fever (> 10%).
• The most frequent adverse reactions in children 2 to 4 years of age that received any primary course dose included pain at injection site and fatigue (> 40%), injection site redness and fever (> 10%).
• The overall safety profile of COMIRNATY in participants 5 to 11 years of age was similar to that seen in participants 16 years of age and older. The most frequent adverse reactions in children 5 to 11 years of age that received 2 doses were injection site pain (> 80%), fatigue (> 50%), headache (> 30%), injection site redness and swelling (≥ 20%), myalgia, chills, and diarrhoea (> 10%).
• The overall safety profile for the booster dose was similar to that seen after the primary course. The most frequent adverse reactions in children 5 to 11 years of age were injection site pain (> 60%), fatigue (> 30%), headache (> 20%), myalgia, chills, injection site redness and swelling (> 10%)
• The overall safety profile of COMIRNATY in adolescents 12 to 15 years of age was similar to that seen in participants 16 years of age and older. The most frequent adverse reactions in adolescents 12 to 15 years of age that received 2 doses were injection site pain (> 90%), fatigue and headache (> 70%), myalgia and chills (> 40%), arthralgia and pyrexia (> 20%).
• The most frequent adverse reactions in participants 16 years of age and older that received 2 doses were injection site pain (> 80%), fatigue (> 60%), headache (> 50%), myalgia (> 40%), chills (> 30%), arthralgia (> 20%), pyrexia and injection site swelling (> 10%) and were usually mild or moderate in intensity and resolved within a few days after vaccination. A slightly lower frequency of reactogenicity events was associated with greater age.
• The safety profile for the booster dose (third dose) was similar to that seen after 2 doses. The most frequent adverse reactions in participants 18 to 55 years of age were injection site pain (> 80%), fatigue (> 60%), headache (> 40%), myalgia (> 30%), chills and arthralgia (> 20%).
• The safety profile for the COMIRNATY Original/Omicron BA.4-5 booster (fourth dose) was similar to that seen after 3 doses. The most frequent adverse reaction in participants 6 to 23 months of age was irritability (> 20%), decreased appetite (> 10%), and drowsiness (> 10%). The most frequent adverse reactions in participants 2 to 4 years of age were injection site pain (> 30%) and fatigue (> 20%). The most frequent adverse reactions in participants 5 to 11 years of age were injection site pain (> 60%), fatigue (> 40%), headache (> 20%), and muscle pain (> 10%). The most frequent adverse reactions in participants 12 years of age and older were injection site pain (> 60%), fatigue (> 50%), headache (> 40%), muscle pain (> 20%), chills (> 10%), and joint pain (> 10%).
• The safety of COMIRNATY JN.1 is inferred from safety data of the prior COMIRNATY vaccines.
