IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Collapse

Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (2024-2025 Formula) is authorized for use under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for active immunization to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in individuals 6 months through 11 years of age.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not administer Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine to individuals with a history of a severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any component of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or to individuals who had a severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) following a previous dose of a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

Management of Acute Allergic Reactions

Appropriate medical treatment must be immediately available to manage potential anaphylactic reactions following administration of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.

Monitor Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine recipients for the occurrence of immediate adverse reactions according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/managing-anaphylaxis.html).

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 the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, 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 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).

Syncope

Syncope (fainting) may occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting.

Altered Immunocompetence

Immunocompromised persons, including individuals receiving immunosuppressive therapy, may have a diminished response to Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.

Limitation of Vaccine Effectiveness

Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine may not protect all vaccine recipients.

Adverse Reactions

Solicited adverse reactions included:

  • 6 months through 23 months of age: Injection site redness; swelling and tenderness; decreased appetite; drowsiness; fever; irritability.
  • 2 through 11 years of age: Injection site pain; redness and swelling; chills; diarrhea; fatigue; fever; headache; new or worsened joint pain; new or worsened muscle pain; vomiting.

Vaccination providers must report all vaccine administration errors, all serious adverse events, cases of myocarditis, cases of pericarditis, cases of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS), and cases of COVID-19 that result in hospitalization or death following administration of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (2024-2025 Formula) to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) by submitting online at https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html. Vaccination providers administering COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) (2024-2025 Formula) under EUA must adhere to the same reporting requirements. For further assistance with reporting to VAERS call 1-800-822-7967. The reports should include the words “Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (2024-2025 Formula) EUA” in the description section of the report. To the extent feasible, report adverse events to Pfizer 1-800-438-1985 or provide a copy of the VAERS form to Pfizer https://
