Safety Information COMIRNATYⓇ (COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine) has been granted conditional marketing authorisation by the European Medicines Agency to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in people from 12 years of age. 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 The efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine has not been assessed in immunocompromised individuals, including those receiving immunosuppressant therapy. The efficacy of COMIRNATYⓇ may be lower in immunosuppressed 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 included pain at the injection site (84.1%), fatigue (62.9%), headache (55.1%), muscle pain (38.4%), chills (31.9%) joint pain (23.6%), fever (14.2%), injection site swelling (10.5%), injection site redness (9.5%), nausea (1.1%), malaise (0.5%), and lymphadenopathy (0.3%) 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 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%). There is limited experience with use of COMIRNATY® in pregnant women. Administration of COMIRNATY® in pregnancy should only be considered when the potential benefits outweigh any potential risks for the mother and foetus. It is unknown whether COMIRNATY® is excreted in human milk. Interactions with other medicinal products or concomitant administration of COMIRNATYⓇ with other vaccines has not been studied. Very rare cases of myocarditis and pericarditis have been observed following vaccination with COMIRNATY® primarily in younger males, after the second dose, within 14 days following vaccination The black equilateral triangle denotes that additional monitoring is required to capture any adverse reactions. This will allow quick identification of new safety information. You can help by reporting any side effects you may get. Side effects can be reported to EudraVigilance [http://www.adrreports.eu/] or directly to BioNTech using email [email protected], telephone +49 6131 9084 0, or our website https://medicalinformation.biontech.de/ 4 BIONTECH
