Capital Allocation Framework
Given BioNTech's strong financial, scientific and operational accomplishments, BioNTech believes that it has the resources to diligently allocate its current capital to drive a multi-platform strategy and continue to strengthen BioNTech as a fully integrated global
2



biotechnology company, allowing it to invest in research and development activities and its global development organization, mergers and acquisitions and business development opportunities, and enhance its global footprint, including commercial and manufacturing infrastructure.
In addition, BioNTech has undertaken the following steps to return capital to shareholders, as announced in March 2022.
The Company has authorized a share repurchase program of American Depositary Shares (ADSs), pursuant to which the Company may repurchase issued and outstanding ADSs in the amount of up to $1.5 billion over the next two years. The first tranche of the share repurchase program, with a value of up to $1.0 billion, commenced on May 2, 2022.
The Management Board and Supervisory Board have proposed a special cash dividend of €2.00 per ordinary share (including those held in the form of ADSs), which corresponds to an aggregate of approximately €486.0 million, based on the number of ordinary shares and ADSs outstanding as of April 30, 2022, pending approval at the Annual General Meeting to be held in June 2022, which the Company expects to serve as the record date for the dividend.
Detailed First Quarter Financial Results
Revenues: Total revenues reported were €6,374.6 million1 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to €2,048.4 million1 for the comparative prior year period. The increase was mainly due to increased commercial revenues from the supply and sales of the Company's COVID-19 vaccine worldwide.
Under the collaboration agreements, territories have been allocated between BioNTech, Pfizer and Fosun Pharma based on marketing and distribution rights. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, BioNTech’s commercial revenues included €4,586.9 million1 gross profit share (€1,504.7 million1 gross profit share and €247.2 million1 sales milestones during the comparative prior year period). BioNTech’s share of the collaboration partners’ gross profit is based on COVID-19 vaccine sales in Pfizer’s and Fosun Pharma’s territories and represents a net figure.
In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, BioNTech recognized €1,163.1 million of direct COVID-19 vaccine sales to customers in BioNTech’s territory, Germany and Turkey, as well as €603.2 million sales of products manufactured by BioNTech for its collaboration partners (€199.8 million and €63.9 million, respectively during the comparative prior year period).
Cost of Sales: Cost of sales was €1,294.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to €233.1 million for the comparative prior year period.
3



The increase in cost of sales resulted mainly from the recognition of costs related to BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine revenues which included the share of gross profit owed to its collaboration partner Pfizer. This increase in cost of sales is additionally attributed to expenses arising from inventory write-offs and for production capacities derived from contracts with Contract Manufacturing Organizations.
Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were €285.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to €216.2 million for the comparative prior year period. The increase was mainly due to recognizing costs related to the production of pre-launch Omicron vaccine products as research and development expenses in the period incurred and an increase in headcount. The increase was partly offset by lower research and development expenses related to the Company's COVID-19 vaccine program as compared to the prior year period.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses were €90.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to €38.9 million for the comparative prior year period. The increase was mainly due to increased expenses for purchased management consulting and legal services as well as an increase in headcount.
Income Taxes: Income taxes were accrued in an amount to €1,319.3 million of tax expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to €514.2 million of tax income for the comparative prior year period. The derived effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 26.3%.
Net Profit: Net profit was €3,698.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to €1,128.1 million for the comparative prior year period.
Cash, Cash Deposits and Trade Receivables: As of March 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were €6,164.1 million. In addition, trade receivables remained outstanding as of March 31, 2022, mainly due to the contractual settlement of the gross profit share under the COVID-19 collaboration with Pfizer, which has a temporal offset of more than one calendar quarter. As Pfizer’s fiscal quarter for subsidiaries outside the United States differs from BioNTech’s financial reporting cycle, it creates an additional time lag between the recognition of revenues and the payment receipt. Trade receivables for example include the gross profit share for the fourth quarter of 2021 (as defined by the contract) for which the settlement payment was received subsequent to the end of the reporting period in April 2022. Of the total trade receivables of €12,695.8 million which were outstanding as of March 31, 2022, €5,243.8 million were received in cash by mid-April 2022.
Shares Outstanding: Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2022, were 243,019,216.

First Quarter 2022 and Subsequent Program Updates
On March 30, 2022, BioNTech announced its Full Year 2021 Financial Results and Corporate Update as a part of the Annual Report filed on Form 20-F, also highlighting developments between January 1 and March 30, 2022 (Link to press release). A summary of these developments as well as details of subsequent developments that occurred after March 30, 2022 is provided in the sections below.
COVID-19 Vaccine Program – BNT162
BNT162b2, the first ever approved mRNA-based product, has paved the way for a new class of medicines. BioNTech and Pfizer continue to execute on plans for global COVID-19 vaccine leadership with multiple new product launches, including label expansions, pediatric dosage forms, and development of follow-on and next generation vaccine candidates.
Commercial updates
In the first quarter of 2022, BioNTech and Pfizer have invoiced approximately 750 million COVID-19 vaccine doses. As of end-April 2022, the Companies have signed orders for approximately 2.4 billion doses in 2022. As part of BioNTech's pledge to equitable access to medicines, the Companies are on track to deliver a total of more than two billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine to low- and middle-income countries by the end of 2022.
Manufacturing updates
BioNTech and Pfizer’s global COVID-19 vaccine supply chain and manufacturing network includes 20 manufacturing facilities spanning four continents.
In February 2022, BioNTech announced its turnkey manufacturing solution, named “BioNTainer,” which is designed to enable scalable mRNA vaccine production in bulk. The novel approach utilizes a modular manufacturing unit made up of state-of-the-art manufacturing containers. BioNTainers are designed and equipped to manufacture a
5



range of mRNA-based vaccines, for example COVID-19 vaccine doses. With their scalable and modular approach, BioNTainers are intended to enable the production of high-quality mRNA vaccine manufacturing worldwide. The establishment of the first modular mRNA manufacturing facility in the African Union is expected to start in the second half of 2022.
Clinical development and regulatory updates
BioNTech and Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine has received multiple regulatory approvals including expansions of authorizations for booster and pediatric vaccinations, and updated storage conditions.
Label expansions achieved in the first quarter of 2022 include approvals in multiple geographies of a booster dose in individuals 12 years and older, which were supported by real-world vaccine efficacy data.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also expanded the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) in the first quarter of 2022 to include a second booster (fourth dose) for both individuals aged 50 years and older and individuals aged 12 years and older with certain kinds of immunocompromised conditions, who have previously received a booster of any authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine.
The Companies are continuing a robust booster development program to address waning efficacy and partial escape variants and to provide continued protection by the vaccine.
Additionally, BioNTech and Pfizer continue to monitor protection offered by BNT162b2 against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. BNT162b2 offers a high level of protection against variants of concern, including Alpha, Beta, and Delta, and laboratory results published in Science demonstrated three doses of BNT162b2 neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant.
Real-world data from Israel suggest a fourth dose of BNT162b2 increases immunogenicity and lowers rates of confirmed infections and severe illness in the elderly population. A real-world study conducted by the Israeli Ministry of Health showed that in individuals over 60 years of age, confirmed infection and severe disease after a fourth dose was lower compared to individuals who did not receive a fourth dose (Bar-On YM, et al MedRxiv. Protection by 4th dose of BNT162b2 against Omicron in Israel; February 1, 2022).
BioNTech and Pfizer are evaluating follow-on COVID-19 vaccines, including an Omicron-adapted candidate and bivalent vaccines directed against the Omicron and other strains of SARS-CoV-2, as well as novel next generation vaccine concepts. The studies are part of the ongoing effort to develop next generation COVID-19 vaccines designed to provide a broad protection against emerging variants of concern.

In a recent preprint publication (bioRxiv. Omicron breakthrough infection drives cross-variant neutralization and memory B cell formation; April 1, 2022) BioNTech showed that Omicron breakthrough infection in BNT162b2 vaccinated individuals results in strong neutralizing activity against both Omicron and previous SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern. In vitro analyses of blood sera samples from individuals double- and triple-vaccinated with BNT162b2 demonstrated that Omicron breakthrough infection mediated a broad B cell recall response, primarily through expanded preformed memory B cells that recognize antigens shared broadly by different variants, rather than inducing new B cells against strictly Omicron-specific antigens. These observations suggest that a vaccine adapted to the Omicron strain spike could similarly reshape the B-cell memory repertoire and be more beneficial than an extended series of boosters with the existing vaccines directed against the ancestral strain.
In January 2022, BioNTech and Pfizer announced the initiation of clinical trials to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of an Omicron-adapted vaccine in healthy adults 18 to less than 56 years of age and adults greater than 55 years of age. The study is evaluating approximately 2,150 participants across multiple cohorts examining different regimens of the current COVID-19 vaccine or an Omicron-adapted vaccine in both vaccine experienced and naive subjects. The study also includes cohorts evaluating a bivalent Omicron-adapted vaccine. A data update is now expected in the coming weeks and will be shared with regulatory agencies.
In February 2022, following a request from the U.S. FDA, BioNTech and Pfizer initiated a rolling submission seeking to amend the EUA to include children six months to less than five years of age in response to the urgent public health need in this population. The Phase 1/2/3 trial for this patient population was designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity. Following study amendments, BioNTech and Pfizer are evaluating a three-dose regimen of 3 µg per dose in children six months to less than five years of age. The data are now expected in the coming weeks.
In April 2022, multiple regulatory agencies, including the EMA and U.S. FDA authorized the extension of the shelf-life of the vaccine from nine months to twelve months when stored at -90°C to -60°C.
In April 2022, BioNTech and Pfizer announced data from a Phase 2/3 clinical trial demonstrating high immune response following a booster (third) dose of BNT162b2 in 140 healthy children five through 11 years of age. Data demonstrated that a booster dose given approximately six months after the second dose of the 10 µg primary series increased neutralizing antibodies by six-fold against the SARS-CoV-2 wild-type strain compared to levels seen after two doses. Also, data from a
7



subanalysis of 30 sera showed a 36-fold increase in SARS-CoV-2 Omicron neutralizing titers following a booster dose. The vaccine was well tolerated with no new safety signals observed. The Companies submitted these data to U.S. FDA at the end of April 2022. Additional submissions to other regulatory agencies worldwide are ongoing.
In May 2022, the European Commission approved the reduction of the interval between the primary course and booster vaccination from six months to three months in individuals 12 years of age and older.
Additional Infectious Disease Programs
Prevention and treatment of infectious diseases is a long-term growth pillar for BioNTech, and the Company’s objective is to be a leader in mRNA vaccines for infectious diseases. With investments in multiple programs to address diseases with major impact on global population health and on people in lower income countries, the Company is advancing its pipeline of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics to address multiple high-need indications.
BioNTech is on track to initiate four first-in-human clinical trials in the second half of 2022 that include mRNA-based product candidates designed to address shingles (in collaboration with Pfizer), malaria, tuberculosis and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV 2).
Influenza Vaccine Program
BioNTech is collaborating with Pfizer to develop an influenza vaccine based on the Company's suite of mRNA platforms.
A Phase 1 trial to evaluate BNT161, an mRNA vaccine candidate, is ongoing and a dose-finding study for a self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) vaccine candidate is planned. A data update is expected in 2022.
Oncology
BioNTech’s immuno-oncology strategy is based on pioneering approaches that harness the immune response to treat cancer. BioNTech has multiple clinical stage assets across different therapeutic classes which may have the potential to tackle tumors using complementary strategies, either by targeting tumor cells directly, or by modulating the immune response against the tumor. The Company’s oncology pillars include mRNA therapeutic vaccines, CAR-T immunotherapies, cell therapies, individualized neoantigen specific immunotherapies, RiboMabs, next-generation checkpoint immunomodulators, anti-tumor antibodies and small molecules. Many product candidates have the potential to be combined with other pipeline assets or already approved therapies.
8



This diverse toolkit of different technologies and modes of action has the potential to address a broad range of solid tumors in different disease stages, using both off-the-shelf and individualized approaches. For its antigen-specific immune therapies, BioNTech has assembled libraries of more than 300 proprietary or known shared antigens and has developed predictive algorithms capable of efficiently identifying multiple neoantigens on an individualized basis for any patient.
BioNTech’s clinical stage oncology pipeline includes a total of 16 product candidates in 20 ongoing clinical trials including five now in randomized Phase 2 clinical trials: two FixVac programs (BNT111 and BNT113), two indications for the iNeST product candidate autogene cevumeran (BNT122/RO7198457), and the bispecific antibody checkpoint immunomodulator BNT311 (GEN1046). BioNTech’s first-in-human trial of the Company’s novel CAR-T cell therapy candidate, BNT211, is continuing to show encouraging clinical data, an important proof-point of the Company’s scientific innovation engine.
BioNTech expects continued pipeline advancement and expansion, as well as further data readouts from the ongoing trials, in 2022.
mRNA programs
FixVac
BioNTech’s off-the-shelf cancer immunotherapy approach, FixVac, leverages the Company's proprietary uridine mRNA (uRNA) backbone that encodes cancer-specific shared antigens for intravenous administration using the proprietary RNA-LPX formulation and is optimized for induction of strong antigen-specific immune responses. FixVac product candidates may be of clinical utility in combination with anti-PD1 in patients with a lower mutational burden tumors, including those who have already experienced checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy.
Two FixVac programs are in ongoing Phase 2 trials: BNT111 in PD1 inhibitor refractory/relapsed melanoma (in collaboration with Regeneron) and BNT113 in HPV16+ PDL1+ head and neck cancer.
BNT116 – The first-in-human clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of BNT116 is expected to be initiated in the second half of 2022.
In March 2022, BioNTech announced the expansion of its strategic collaboration with Regeneron. Under the agreement, the combination of BNT116 and Libtayo is expected to be advanced into clinical development for the treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Individualized neoantigen specific immunotherapy (iNeST)
9



BioNTech's individualized cancer immunotherapy approach (iNeST) is also based on pharmacologically optimized uridine mRNA (uRNA) backbone delivered in the Company’s proprietary RNA-LPX formulation.
BioNTech’s lead iNeST product candidate, autogene cevumeran (BNT122), is being developed together with Genentech as part of a co-development and co-commercialization collaboration.
Individual mRNA cancer vaccines encode the patient’s own tumor mutations, against which neoantigen specific CD4 and CD8 T cell responses are generated in vivo. BioNTech believes this modality is well-suited for use in early-stage cancers and the adjuvant setting.
A randomized Phase 2 trial of autogene cevumeran in the adjuvant treatment of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) positive, surgically resected Stage II (high-risk)/Stage III colorectal cancer is ongoing. The trial is expected to enroll about 200 patients to evaluate the efficacy of autogene cevumeran compared to watchful waiting after surgery and chemotherapy, the current standard of care for these high-risk patients.
A data update from the ongoing randomized Phase 2 trial of autogene cevumeran combined with pembrolizumab in patients with 1L metastatic melanoma is expected in the second half of 2022.
RiboMabs
BioNTech’s RiboMab product candidates, BNT141 and BNT142, are designed to encode cancer cell targeting antibodies. These product candidates leverage the Company’s proprietary optimized mRNA technology combining nucleoside modifications to minimize immunogenicity with modifications in the mRNA backbone to maximize protein expression. RiboMabs may address the limitations of recombinant antibodies, including avoidance of protein manufacturing challenges and short plasma half-life.
BNT141 encodes an antibody targeting Claudin-18.2, expressed in high unmet medical need tumors, including multiple epithelial solid tumors, such as gastric and pancreatic cancers.
In January 2022, the first participant was dosed in an open-label, multi-site Phase 1/2 dose escalation, safety, and pharmacokinetic trial of BNT141 followed by expansion cohorts in patients with Claudin (CLDN)-18.2-positive tumors.
BNT142 encodes a bispecific T cell engaging antibody that targets CD3, a T cell receptor component, and Claudin-6 (CLDN6), an oncofetal cell surface antigen found in solid tumors.
BioNTech plans to start a Phase 1 clinical trial for BNT142 in the first half of 2022.
10



Cell therapies
CAR-T cell immunotherapy
BNT211, BioNTech’s first chimeric antigen receptor, or CAR-T cell product candidate, targets CLDN6-positive solid tumors in combination with a CAR-T cell-amplifying RNA-vaccine, or CARVac, encoding CLDN6. CARVac is also based on pharmacologically optimized uridine mRNA (uRNA) backbone delivered in the Company’s proprietary RNA-LPX formulation. CLDN-6 CAR-T cells are equipped with a second-generation CAR of high sensitivity and specificity for the tumor-specific carcino-embryonic antigen CLDN6. CARVac drives in vivo expansion of transferred CAR-T cells, increasing their persistence and efficacy. BNT211 is designed to overcome CAR-T cell therapy limitations in patients with solid tumors.
BNT211 – A Phase 1/2 open-label dose escalation and dose expansion trial evaluating BNT211 in patients with CLDN6-positive solid tumors is ongoing.
Data from the ongoing trial were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Conference 2022. The presentation included data from 16 patients who received CLDN6 CAR-T cells at two dose levels alone or combined with CARVac. Tumor indications included testicular cancer (eight patients), ovarian cancer (four patients), endometrial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, sarcoma, and gastric cancer (one patient each).
The preliminary efficacy data showed encouraging signs of clinical activity with a disease control rate of 86% and an overall response rate of 43%. All 16 patients showed robust CAR-T cell engraftment with peak expansion 10 to 17 days after infusion reaching cell frequencies of 109 total cell counts or above at the higher dose level. At the first efficacy assessment six weeks post infusion, six of 14 evaluable patients showed a partial response, or PR, and five patients had stable disease, or SD, with shrinkage of target lesions. Responses were seen in four testicular and two ovarian cancer patients. At 12 weeks, four of the six patients with a PR showed deepening and durability of responses with one patient reaching a complete response 18 weeks after infusion. All four testicular cancer patients in the higher dose level had disease control and three of these patients showed objective responses. In addition, one testicular cancer patient showed partial response after infusion of the lowest CAR-T dose level in combination with CARVac. Antitumor activity tended to be higher at the higher CAR-T dose and when combined with the vaccine, with four of five patients in the CARVac combination group showing a partial response.
The results also demonstrated an encouraging safety profile as adverse events and dose limiting toxicities were manageable.
Another data update from the ongoing Phase 1/2 trial is expected in the second half of 2022.

Safety Information 3 COMIRNATY® ▼(the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine) has been granted conditional marketing authorization (CMA) by the European Commission to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in people from 5 years of age. The vaccine is administered as a primary course of 2 doses, 3 weeks apart. In addition, the CMA has been expanded to include a booster dose (third dose) at least 6 months after the second dose in individuals 12 years of age and older. For immunocompromised individuals, a third primary course dose may be given at least 28 days after the second dose. The European Medicines Agency’s (EMA’s) human medicines committee (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 now available. 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 risk 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 suggest that the course of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination is not different from myocarditis or pericarditis in general. • Anxiety-related reactions, including vasovagal reactions (syncope), hyperventilation or stress‐related reactions (e.g. dizziness, palpitations, increases in heart rate, alterations in blood pressure, paraesthesia, hypoaesthesia 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 and safety of the vaccine has not been assessed in immunocompromised individuals, including those receiving immunosuppressant therapy. The efficacy of Comirnaty may be lower in immunocompromised individuals. As with any vaccine, vaccination with COMIRNATY® may not protect all vaccine recipients. Individuals may not be fully protected until 7 days after their second dose of vaccine. • In clinical studies, adverse reactions in participants 16 years of age and older were injection site pain (> 80%), fatigue (> 60%), headache (> 50%), myalgia and 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 overall safety profile of COMIRNATY® in participants 5 to 15 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 were injection site pain (>80%), fatigue (>50%), headache (>30%), injection site redness and swelling (>20%), myalgia and chills (>10%). • The most frequent adverse reactions in clinical trial participants 12 to 15 years of age were injection site pain (> 90%), fatigue and headache (> 70%), myalgia and chills (> 40%), arthralgia and pyrexia (> 20%). • A large amount of observational data from pregnant women vaccinated with Comirnaty 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. Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to pregnancy, embryo/foetal development, parturition or post-natal development. Comirnaty can be used during pregnancy. • No effects on the breast fed newborn/infant are anticipated since the systemic exposure of breast feeding woman to Comirnaty is negligible. Observational data from women who were breast feeding after vaccination have not shown a risk for adverse effects in breast fed newborns/infants. Comirnaty can be used during breast feeding. Interactions with other medicinal products or concomitant administration of COMIRNATY® with other vaccines has not been studied. • For complete information on the safety of COMIRNATY® always make reference to the approved Summary of Product Characteristics and Package Leaflet available in all the languages of the European Union on the EMA website. The black equilateral triangle ▼ denotes that additional monitoring is required to capture any adverse reactions. This will allow quick identification of new safety information. Individuals can help by reporting any side effects they may get. Side effects can be reported to EudraVigilance or directly to BioNTech using email medinfo@biontech.de, telephone +49 6131 9084 0, or via the website www.biontech.de


 
Safety Information 4 AUTHORIZED USE IN THE U.S. COMIRNATY® (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) is an FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccine for active immunization to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in individuals 16 years of age and older. It is also authorized under EUA to provide a 2-dose primary series to individuals 5 years of age and older, a third primary series dose to individuals 5 years of age and older who have been determined to have certain kinds of immunocompromise, a single booster dose to individuals 12 years of age and older who have completed a primary series with Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or COMIRNATY®, a single booster dose to individuals 18 years of age and older who have completed primary vaccination with a different authorized COVID-19 vaccine, a second booster dose to individuals 50 years of age and older who have received a first booster dose of any authorized COVID-19 vaccine; and a second booster dose to individuals 12 years of age and older who have been determined to have certain kinds of immunocompromise and who have received a first booster dose of any authorized COVID-19 vaccine. The booster schedule is based on the labeling information of the vaccine used for the primary series. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Individuals should not get the vaccine if they: • had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose of this vaccine • had a severe allergic reaction to any ingredient of this vaccine Individuals should tell the vaccination provider about all of their medical conditions, including if they: • have any allergies • have had myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) or pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart) • have a fever • have a bleeding disorder or are on a blood thinner • are immunocompromised or are on a medicine that affects the immune system • are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding • have received another COVID-19 vaccine • have ever fainted in association with an injection The vaccine may not protect everyone. Side effects reported with the vaccine include: • There is a remote chance that the vaccine could cause a severe allergic reaction o A severe allergic reaction would usually occur within a few minutes to 1 hour after getting a dose of the vaccine. For this reason, vaccination providers may ask individuals to stay at the place where they received the vaccine for monitoring after vaccination o Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include difficulty breathing, swelling of the face and throat, a fast heartbeat, a bad rash all over the body, dizziness, and weakness o If an individual experiences a severe allergic reaction, they should call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest hospital • Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart) have occurred in some people who have received the vaccine, more commonly in males under 40 years of age than among females and older males. In most of these people, symptoms began within a few days following receipt of the second dose of the vaccine. The chance of having this occur is very low. Individuals should seek medical attention right away if they have any of the following symptoms after receiving the vaccine: o chest pain o shortness of breath o feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart • Additional side effects that have been reported with the vaccine include: • severe allergic reactions; non-severe allergic reactions such as injection site pain; tiredness; headache; muscle pain; chills; joint pain; fever; injection site swelling; injection site redness; nausea; feeling unwell; swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy); decreased appetite; diarrhea; vomiting; arm pain; and fainting in association with injection of the vaccine • These may not be all the possible side effects of the vaccine. Serious and unexpected side effects may occur. The possible side effects of the vaccine are still being studied in clinical trials. Call the vaccination provider or healthcare provider about bothersome side effects or side effects that do not go away Data on administration of this vaccine at the same time as other vaccines have not yet been submitted to FDA. Individuals considering receiving this vaccine with other vaccines should discuss their options with their healthcare provider. Patients should always ask their healthcare providers for medical advice about adverse events. Individuals are encouraged to report negative side effects of vaccines to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Visit https://www.vaers.hhs.gov or call 1‐800‐ 822‐7967. In addition, side effects can be reported to Pfizer Inc. at www.pfizersafetyreporting.com or by calling 1-800-438-1985.
