You have already signed a consent form to participate in the research study  mentioned 
above. This  addendum is part of the consent procedure. It has  been written to provide 
you with information on additional blood draws  at your  planned study visits .  
 Please note you do not need to consent to this document to remain part of the study. If 
you agree to give the additional blood samples  and then change your mind for any 
reason, you are free to stop partici pating at any t ime. All ot her information in the main 
consent form  that you already signed, which is  not addressed in this addendum still 
applies.  
 
Additional blood draws  
 
You are being asked by the study site whether you would consider taking part in a sub-
study where a small group of selected participants will be asked to provide additional 
blood samples. This could be because you are recei ving a third, “booster ” dose of 
BNT1 62b2 or BNT1 62b2
SA, or because you are newly part of the study and will receive 
2 doses of BNT162b2 SA. Pleas e ask your study doctor if you aren’ t sure which group 
you are in.  
 
These  blood samples will be used to look  very care fully at your body ’s immune 
response to the vaccine . The tes ts will check  the number and type of immune cells your 
body makes af ter vacci nation: these cells are thought to be an important  component of 
the protection that the vaccine  produces . The tests are done by isolating a type of blood 
cells called peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). To hel p us understand your 
body ’s own immune system make-up, we will also do human leukocyte antigen (HLA) 
typing with your first sample. You may  have heard of  this referred to as ‘tissue typing’. 
 If you choose to take part in this sub-study, you will need to read, sign and date this 
consent addendum  before starting any new set of study -related procedures.   
 
After signing and dating this consent addendum , the study doctor will check if y ou meet 
all the requirements  to give the additional blood samples . The total volume o f extra 
blood samples is about 485 mL (around 1 pint ) through 6 months after your last dose of

You have already signed a consent form to participate in the research study  mentioned 
above. You are being provided with this addendum because you were enrolled in the 
Phase 3 part of this study and originally received the BNT1 62b2 COVID -19 vaccine.  
 This addendum is part of the consent procedure. It has  been written to provide you with 
additional information on a booster dose of BNT162b2 or BNT162b2
SA (a modified 
versio n of BNT1 62b2 targeted against the Coronav irus variant firs t found in South 
Africa). Further, you may also receive an additional dose of BNT162b2 SA if you are a 
part of selected subset of participants . This addendum contains  information on a new 
schedule of  study visit s, study procedures  and reimburs ement to cover any reasonable 
expenses (for example, parking, meals,  travel)  associated with these new visits . It also 
provides the latest  information on BNT162b2 vaccine  risks that you will want to know .  
 Please note you do not need to consent to this document to rem ain part of the study. If 
you agree to participate and then change your mind for any reason, you are free to stop 
participating at any time. All other information in the main consent form that you already 
signed, which is  not addressed in this addendum sti ll applies.  
 
Administ ration of an Additional Dose of BNT 162b2 or BNT162b2
SA 
 
You originally  receiv ed 2 doses of the investigational vaccine (B NT162b2)  as part of 
your participation in Phase 3  part of this study . As the study has progressed through 
Phase 3, it has been determined that 2 doses of BNT162b2 at 30µg  is highly effective at 
preventing COVID -19 in people 16 years of age and older.  In the past couple of months,  
you may have heard of the emergence of new variant s (mutations) of Coronavirus , 
which may be more easily transmitted and/or  less ea sily neutralized by immunity from 
the current vaccine s. One such variant first arose in South Africa and so is  called ‘ South 
African variant ’. In response to this, a version of the investigational vacc ine BNT162b2 
has been slightly modified in such a manner so that it uses your own cells’ protein 
making machinery to produce some, or all, of the spike protein seen on the outside of 
this South African variant . This modified vaccine will be  referred as  BNT 162b2 SA 
throughout  this addendum . It is also possible that a 3rd dose of the existing version of

 the BNT162b2 vaccine may be able to provide better protection against the South 
African variant than 2 doses.  
 
In light of this new i nformation, the study team would like to learn quickly  if an additional 
vaccine dose (booster  dose) can further enhance immune protection against  COVID -19 
disease for those who already received two doses of BNT162b2 va ccine. Once the 
study doctor has confirmed you meet t he study requirements, you will be randomly 
assigned (like flipping a coin) to receive one booster dose of either BNT162b2 or 
BNT162b2 SA. This will be your third dose. For every 1 person who receive s BNT162b2, 
1 perso n will recei ve BNT162b2 SA. No one (including you, your personal doctor and the 
study team) can choose this assignment.   
 
As part of this random assignment, a small subset of participants will be selected to 
receive a further dose of BNT162b2 SA as a fourth dose but only if they have received 
BNT162b2 SA as their booster dose (third dose). Your study doctor will be able to find this 
out and communicate it to you during Visit 303.     
 
You are now  being asked by the study s ite whether you would consider rec eiving the 
booster dose(s)  and to read, sign and date this consent addendum before starting any 
new set of stu dy-related procedures.  
 After signing and dating this consent addendum , the study doctor will check if y ou meet 
all of the requirements , and once confirmed you meet all the study requi rement s, you 
will recei ve the b ooster  vacci ne dose as an injection. This  will be given into the muscle 
in your upper arm  in the same way as the f irst 2 doses and you will be asked to wait at 
the study site for at least 30 minutes for observation after receivi ng the vaccin e 
injection.   
Overvi ew of Study P rocedures and Assessments: 
 
The table below lists the tests and procedures or assessments that  you will have done 
for the remaining duration of the study. In addition to the v isits lis ted, your study doctor 
may ask  you t o come in for ex tra vis it(s) if necessa ry, to protect your wel l-being.  
 You will have blood taken 5 or 7 times during the remaining planned visits of the study.  
This will be used to test your antibody levels . About 50mL of blood will be collec ted from 
a vein in your arm us ing a needle at each of these v isits. Some participants may be 
asked to take part in a sub-s tudy where additional blood samples will be collected for 
further research. Your study  doctor can t ell you if this research site is taking part in th e 
sub-study and whether you may be asked take part .

You will remember that  you were asked to complet e electronic diary (e-Diary) for 7 d ays 
following your  previous study injections . In a similar manner, you will be instructed by 
the study team to complete the vaccin ation part of the e-Diary for 7 days after the study 
vacci ne injection at Visit 301 (Vax 3) and also at Visit 303 if you are selected to receive 
an additional dose of vaccine injection (Vax 4) . This is  once a day in the evening with 
the first day being the day o f your vaccination.   
 
You will be given a thermometer and a measuri ng device to take home.  You will use 
the thermometer to measure your temperature under your tongue and y ou will use the 
measuring device to measure any redness or  swelling where the i njection was given.  
You will need to record thes e measur ements in the vaccination part of the e-Diary.  
The vaccination part of the e-Diary will also ask other questions about potential side 
effects you may have after the injection.  If you have any severe s ymptoms after your 
vaccination,  you should cont act your  study doctor and the study doctor or nurse may 
schedule an extra visit.  
Pleas e note this 7-day  vaccin ation e-D iary is separate to the COVID -19 illness  e-Diary 
which you will still need to complet e regularl y and follow the prompt s to record COVID -
19 symptoms every 7 days  or at any time you have COVID -19 symptoms .  
It is very imp ortant that you complete the e-Diary regularly  as instructed. If you do not, 
your study doctor or nurse will contact you to check how you are. You may also receive 
text mes sages to t he provided device or your own smartphone (i n case you download 
the e-Diary app), or emails (if you provide your emai l address) to remind you t o 
complete the COVID -19 illness part of the e-Diary.  
 
If, dur ing your part icipation in the study, should you visit the Emergency  Room or 
admitted to the hospital, please contact your study doctor as soon as possible.  
 
Study Vaccin e (BNT162b2)  Risks: 
 
Up unti l the end of 2020, the safety of BNT162b2 has been studi ed in clinical trials that 
have included 21,744 people 16 years of age and older who have received at least one 
dose of the vacc ine. In addition, since the vaccine has been approved for emergency 
use in many countries, about 26 million doses have been dis tributed. 
 
Based on the clinical study results , and information gathered during general use, the 
following risks have been determ ined to be caused by BNT162b2 vaccine:

Very common (occurring in more t han 1 in 10 people): i njection site pain, injection sit e 
swelling, fatigue (tiredness) , increased body temperat ure ( fever , more common after  the 
second dose), chills, headache, joint aches , and muscle aches.  
 
Common (between 1 i n 10 and 1 in 100 people): f eeling sick (nausea) , and injection site 
redness.  
 
Uncommo n (between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 people): e nlarged lymph glands , allergic 
reactions (symptoms may include rash, itching, hiv es, and swelling of the face or lips ), 
pain in arm, and feeling weak or unwell . 
 
Frequency cannot be estimated from available data: severe allergic reaction 
(anaphylaxis) . 
 
BNT162b2 SA (modified version of BNT162b2) is expected to have a similar safety 
profile. However, since this is the first time it will have been studied, we cannot be 
certain of that  until w e research further . 
 
As in all research studies, the COVID -19 vaccine may involve risks  that might be 
expected based on results from studies of simi lar vaccines, as well as r isks that are 
currently unknown.  
 
Therefore, it  is impor tant that you report all symptoms and side effects that you 
experience as soon as they occur, whether or not you think they are caused by the 
study vaccine.  
Due to the way in which the study vaccines  are made, they cannot cause COVID -19 
disease.  
 
If I catc h COVID -19 disease, could the v accine make it worse? 
For some other  vaccines tested in animals against similar v iruses (but not t he 
coronavirus that causes COVID -19), there have been reports of the i llness being more 
severe in the animals that received the vaccine than in those that did not. So far this has 
not been seen with BNT162b2. It remains important for you to contact your study doctor 
if you develop s ymptoms that might be caused by COVID -19 (f or example, fever, cough, 
shortness of breath).  
 
Will I be p aid for  receiving the optional booster dose (s) and for the  additional 
visits t o the study site ? 
You will not recei ve any payment for receiving the optional booster dose(s). However,  
you will be reimbursed $XX.XX by the study  site for the additional  visit(s) you complete

2. Brief Summary of this Study  
This is a research study involving both Pfizer and B ioNTech. Pfizer and BioNTech are 
separate companies who are cooperating to perform this study.  Pfizer is responsible for 
conducting this study. B ioNTech is the regulatory sponsor of  this study. Funding for this 
study is provided by BioNTech and Pfizer and [the study doctor/institution]  will be paid to 
conduct this study.  
A new respiratory disease appeared in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has since 
rapidly spread to many other countries around the world. In January 2020, the cause of 
this disease was found to be a new Coronavirus ; and the disease it causes was named 
COVID -19 (Coronavirus disease 2019). Since then, many companies around the World 
have quickly started to look for treatments and ways to prevent COVID -19.  
Vaccines help your body to produce antibodies to help you to fight off a disease. This 
research study involves an investigational vaccine to prevent COVID -19, and it will be 
given to healthy volunteers  by injection.  
This investigational vaccine, called BNT162b2 SA is part of the BNT162 family of RNA 
vaccines developed by BioNTec h. It is a modified version of BNT162b2 targeted against 
the Coronavirus variant first found in South Africa. These  vaccine s do not contain the 
whole virus, or the parts of the virus that can make you ill, instead the vaccines are made 
up of part of the virus’s genetic code, surrounded by fatty particles called lipids. They  use 
your own cells’ protein making machinery to produce some, or all , of the spike protein 
seen on the outside of the virus. This spike protein, made by your own body , may help 
your body to produce antibodies to fight against COVID -19. We will check how many 
antibodies you make by taking blood samples and testing them .

to prevent COVID -19 is an urgent need.  To test this investigational vaccine as quickly as 
possible, this study has been separated into 2 phases . In both the phases we will try to 
see if the vaccine works to prevent COVID -19, as well as : 
• Phase 1  where we choose which vaccines at which dose levels are safest and 
make the most antibodies . 
• Phase 2/3 where we look at one vaccine at one dose level in lots of people to 
collect even more information about the safety of the vaccines and the amounts 
of antibodies they produce.  
BNT162b2 vaccine at dose level 30µg was selected as a potential vaccine candidate for 
Phase 2/3 study. As the study has progressed through the Phase 2/ 3 part, it has been 
determined that 2 doses of BNT162b2 is highly effective at preventing COVID -19 in 
people 16 years of age and older. In the past couple of months, you may have heard of 
the emergence of new variants (mutations) of Coronavirus, which may be more easily

transmitted and/or less easily neutralized by immunity from the current vaccines. One 
such variant first arose in South Africa and so is called ‘South African variant’. In response to this, a version of the investigational vaccine BNT162b2 has been slightly modified in such a manner so that it uses your own cells’ protein making machinery to produce some, 
or all, of the spike protein seen on the outside of this South African variant. This modified 
vaccine will be referred as BNT162b2
SA through the rest of  this consent  document . The 
purpose of this sub-study is to learn about the safety and amount of antibodies (immune 
response) your body produces after injection of BNT162b2 SA at the 30µg  dose level .  
You are now being asked to take part in Phase 3 part of the ongoing study . Every 
participant  who is selected to receive BNT162b2 SA will receive two injections of the study  
vaccine and at the same dose level.  There is no placebo in this study (a placebo does 
not contain any active ingredients)  and all participants will receive the study vaccine 
(BNT162b2 SA). 
The study doctor will determine whether you are eligible for the study. This study will 
require you to visit the study doctor  to undergo study procedures and to provide 
information about your health.  You will also be required to contact  the study doctor if you 
experience any of the COVID -19 symptoms  (explained later in this document).  
 
4. How long will I participate in this study?   
You could be in this study for up to about  20 months . You will need to visit the study site 
6 to 7 planned times  during the study, and any time after you have experienced COVID -
19 symptoms and are feeling better  in about a month’s time.  
5. How many people will take part in this study? 
Approximately 44,4 93 healthy people are taking part in all 3 phases of this study.  In the 
Phase 3 sub-study that you are being asked to join, approximately 300 people will take 
part. 
It is expected that about [number]  people will participate in Phase 3 sub-study at  this 
location.  
6. What will happen during this study? 
Before any study procedures begin, or before you begin preparing for the study, you will 
be asked to read and sign this consent document.  
After signing this consent document, the study doctor will check if you meet all the 
requirements to take part in this study. If you do not meet the requirements, you will not 
be able to take part in the study and the study doctor will explain why this is the case.

Blood samples for antibody testing 
You will have blood taken 5 times during the planned visits of the study. This will be used 
to test if you already had antibodies against the coronavirus that causes COVID -19 when 
you enrolled in the study and may be used to test your antibody levels  after vaccination. 
About 50mL of blood (about 10 teaspoons) will be collected f rom vein in your arm using 
a needle at these visits.   
Some participants may be asked to take part in a sub-study where additional blood 
samples will be collected for further research. Your study doctor can tell you if this 
research site is taking part in the sub-study and whet her you are allowed to take part.   
 E-Diary 
At Visit 401, the study team will show you how to fill in an electronic diary (or e-Diary).  
We will either give you a device (a bit like a mobile phone) or ask you to download an 
application (‘app’) to your smart phone if you have one. The device/app is secure and your confidentiality will be maintained.  
 
There are 2 parts to the e-Diary. Everyone will need to complete the COVID -19 illness 
part of the e-Diary on the device or app on your smartphone. The COVID -19 illness e-
Diary will prompt you to record any COVID -19 symptoms (see below) every 7 days or at 
any time you have COVID -19 symptoms.  You may also receive text messages to the 
device or your own smartphone, or emails (if you provide your email address) to remind 
you to complete the COVID -19 illness part of the e-Diary.  
If you are part of a subset of participants, you will also be instructed by  the study team to 
complete the vaccination part of the e-Diary for 7 days after each vaccination, once a day 
in the evening with the first day being the day of the vaccination.  
 You will be given a thermometer and a measuring device to take home.  You will use the thermometer to measure your temperature under your tongue and you will use the 
measuring device to measure any redness or swelling where the injection was given.  You 
will need to record these measurements in the vaccination part of the e-Diary.  
The vaccination part of the e-Diary will also ask other questions about potential side 
effects you may have after the injection.  If you have any severe symptoms after your 
vaccination, you should contact your study doctor and the study doctor or nurse may 
schedule an extra visit.  
It is very important that you complete the e-Diary regularly as instruct ed. If you do not, 
your study doctor or nurse will contact you to check how you are. 
If, during your participation in the study, should you visit the Emergency Room or admitted to the hospital, please contact your study doctor as soon as possible.

Urine pregnancy test  
If you’re a woman who is able to have children, you will have a urine pregnancy test to 
check you are not pregnant before you get the study injection.  
 
What happens if I have positive nasal swab test result?  
Nasal swabs obtained during the study (at Visits 401 and 402, and at the time of a 
potential COVID -19 illness – see below) will be tested in a research laboratory. P ositive 
results from the Visit 401 and 402 swabs, and all results from the illness visit sw abs, will 
be provided to your study doctor, but this will take some time so you should not rely on 
these for medical treatment .  
If You Get COVID -19 Symptoms 
If you get any of the following you must contact the study doctor straight away . 
Note that this is not instead of  your  routine medical care. If you feel unwell enough 
that you would normally see a healthcare professional, please contact your  usual 
provider , as well as the study doctor . 
 
• A diagnosis of COVID -19; 
• Fever;  
• New or increased cough;  
• New or increased shortness of breath;  
• Chills ; 
• New or increased  muscle pain ;  
• New l oss of taste/smell ; 
• Sore throat ; 
• Diarrhea;  
• Vomiting. 
 
The study doctor may ask you to have a telephone conversation, video call or to visit the 
site to talk about how you are feeling and if you have needed any other medical care. 
They will also ask you to take a nose swab  or take one from you to check for the 
coronavirus. We will give you separate instructions about how to take a nose swab 
yourself  and how to ship the swab to the study site or laboratory  if needed. The result 
from this swab will be provided to the study doctor  once it is available, but this will take 
some  time, and cannot be used to diagnose you with COVID -19. This is why it  is important 
that you contact your usual provider if you have COVID -19 symptoms and think you need 
medical care.

The study vaccine is available only during this study and not after the study is over.   
7. Are there any special instructions to follow for this study? 
It is important you follow all the instructions given to you by the study nurse or doctor and tell them if:  
• You don’t understand anything about the study  
• You are not able to comply with the study requirements  
• There are changes in your health 
• You tak e any new medications or receive any other vaccines  
• You are going away for a long period 
• You wish to take part in another research study  
  
8. What are the possible risks and discomforts of this study?  
Any research has some risks, which may include negative effects that could make you 
unwell or uncomfortable and even potentially be serious or life-threatening.  All research 
participants taking part in the study will be watched carefully for any negative effects; 
however, the study team does not know all the effects that the study vaccine may have 
on you.  
If you take part in this study, the most likely risks or discomforts to happen to you are discussed below.  
It is important that you report to the study team all symptoms and side effects as soon as they occur. Phone numbers for the study team are listed in [Section 1 ] of 
this consent document. 
 
Study Vaccine Risks Up until the end of 2020, the safety of BNT162b2 has been studied in clinical trials that 
have included 21,744 people 16 yrs of age and older who have received at least one dose of the vaccine. In addition, since the vaccine has been approved for emergency 
use in many countries, about 26 million doses have been distributed.

Based on the clinical study results, and information gathered during general use, the 
following risks have been determined to be caused by BNT162b2 vaccine:  
Very common (occurring in more than 1 in 10 people): injection site pain, injection site swelling, fatigue (tiredness), increased body temperature (fever, more common after the second dose), chills, headache, joint aches, and muscle aches.  
Common (between 1 in 10 and 1 in 100 people): feeling sick (nausea), and injection site redness.  
Uncommon (between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 people): enlarged lymph glands, allergic reactions (symptoms may include rash, itching, hives, and swelling of the face or lips), pain in arm, and feeling weak or unwell.  
Frequency cannot be estimated from available data: severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).  
BNT162b2SA (modified version of BNT162b2) is expected to have a similar safety 
profile. However, since this is the first time it will have been studied, we cannot be 
certain of that until we research further.  
As in all research studies, the COVID -19 vaccine may involve risks that might be 
expected based on results from studies of similar vaccines, as well as risks that are currently unknown.  
Therefore, it is important that you report all symptoms and side effects that you 
experience as soon as they occur, whether or not you think they are caused by the 
study vaccine.  
Due to the way in which the study vaccines are made, they cannot cause COVID -19 
disease.  
If I catch COVID -19 disease, could the vaccine make it worse? 
For some other vaccines tested in animals  against similar viruses (but not the 
coronavirus that causes COVID -19), there have been reports of the illness being more 
severe in the animals that received the vaccine than in those that di d not. So far this has 
not been seen with BNT162b2. It remains important for you to contact your study doctor 
if you develop symptoms that might be caused by COVID -19 (for example, fever, cough, 
shortness of breath).

Risks and possible discomforts you might have from the study procedures include:  
• Blood samples:  The risks and possible discomforts involved in taking blood 
include pain from inserting the needle, or less often, swelling, bruising, or 
infection around the vein where the blood is collected.  You may feel dizzy or 
may faint. If you have a previous history of feeling dizzy or fainting during blood 
sample collection, you should talk to the study doctor.  
• Nasal S wabs: The risks and possible discomforts involv ed in taking nasal swabs 
may include pain or general discomfort. Sometimes it may cause the nose to bleed.  
 
Pregnancy-Related Risks; Use of Birth Control 
If you are currently pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding a child, you 
should not join this study.  
If you are able to have children and you are sexually active, you must use birth control consistently and correctly for at least 28 days after you receive your last injection.  This 
applies to men as well as women who take part in the research study.  The study doctor 
will discuss with you the methods of birth control that you should use while you are in this research study and will help you select the method(s) that is appropriate for you.  The study doctor will also check that you understand how to use the birth control method and 
may review this with you at each of your research study visits.   
 
Birth control methods, even when used properly are not perfect.  If you or your partner 
becomes pregnant during the research study, or you want to stop your required birth 
control during the research study, you should tell the study doctor immediately .  You may 
be withdrawn from the research study if you stop using birth control or you become 
pregnant.  
 Pregnancy Follow -up 
If you or your partner become pregnant during the study, up until 6 months after you last 
study injection, please tell the study doctor immediately . Please also tell the doctor who 
will be taking care of you/your partner during the pregnancy that you took part in this 
study. The study doctor will ask if you/your partner or your pregnancy doctor is willing to 
provide updates on the progress of the pregnancy and its outcome. If you/y our partner 
agree, this information will be provided to BioNTech/ Pfizer  for safety follow -up. 
  
9. What are possible benefits of this study?  
Vaccination with BNT162b2 has been shown to be effective in preventing COVID -19 in 
the groups of people already studied. H owever , it is not known yet whether the study 
vaccine  (BNT162b2 SA) may reduce the chance of you getting COVID -19 that is caused

about how to avoid COVID -19 (for example, social distancing and mask use).  And 
Information learned from the research study may help other people in the future.   
10. What will happen to my blood and nasal swab samples?  
Your blood and nasal swab samples will be used only for scientific research.  Each sample 
will be labeled with a code so that the laboratory workers testing the samples will not 
know who you are.  Some of the samples may be stored for future testing and may be kept for up to 15 years after the study ends, at which time they will be destroyed.  In addition to testing for this study, any samples left over after the study is complete may be 
used for additional research related to the development of products. No testing of your 
DNA  will be performed.  
You may request that your samples, if they can be identified, be destroyed at any time. Any data already collected from those samples will still be used for the study. The samples will remain the property of BioNTech/ Pfizer and may be shared with other researchers as 
long as confidentiality is maintained and no testing of your DNA  will be performed. You 
will not be told of additional tests, nor will you receive results of any of these tests.  
11. What other choices do I have if I do not join this study?

2. Brief Summary of this Study  
This is a research study involving both Pfizer and B ioNTech . Pfizer and BioNTech are 
separate companies who are cooperating to perform this study.  Pfizer is responsible for 
conducting this study. B ioNTech  is the regulatory sponsor of  this study. Funding for this 
study is provided by BioNTech  and Pfizer and [the study doctor/institution]  will be paid 
to conduct this study.  
A new respiratory disease appeared in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has since 
rapidly spread to many other countries around the world. In January 2020, the cause of 
this disease was found to be a new Coronavirus ; and the disease it causes was named 
COVID -19 (Coronavirus disease 2019). Since then, many companies around the World 
have quickly started to look for treatments and ways to prevent COVID -19.  
Vaccines help your body to produce antibodies to help you to fi ght off a disease . This 
research study involves 2 investigational vaccines to prevent COVID -19, that will be 
given to healthy volunteers . The vaccines are given by injection. The vaccines are  
slightly different but work in the same way. The study  will also  test each of these 
vaccines at different dose  level s (amounts of vaccine).  
These vaccines do not contain the whole virus, or the parts of the virus that can make 
you ill, instead the vaccines are made up of part of the virus’s genetic code, surrounded 
by fatty particles called lipids. They use your own cells’ protein making machinery to 
produce some, or all , of the spike protein seen on the outside of the virus. This spike 
protein, made by your own body, may help your body to produce antibodi es to fight 
against COVID -19. We will check how many antibodies you make by taking blood 
samples and testing them .

This study is different from your regular medical care. The purpose of regular medical 
care is to improve or otherwise manage your health,  but the purpose of research is to 
gather information to advance science and medicine and does not replace your regular 
medical care.  If you need medical care during your time in the study, you should contact 
your regular provider and inform the study team , as described later in this document.  
Taking part in this study is voluntary (your choice). There is no penalty or change to 
your regular medical care if y ou decide  not to participate. You can  choose  to take part  in 
the study  now, and then change your mind later at any time  without losing any benefits 
or medical care to which you are entitled. We encourage you to have conversations with 
your family, caregivers, doctors, and study team about taking part in this study and 
whether it is right for you. The study team will work with you to answer any questions 
that you may have about the study.  
You will receive a signed copy of this consent document for your records. Please keep 
this consent document for your reference.  
 
3. What is the purpose of this study?  
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared COVID -19 to be a pandemic  (a 
disease that has spread all over the world and is affecting lots of people) ; finding a 
vaccine to prevent COVID -19 is an urgent need.  To test this investigational vaccine as 
quickly  as possible, this study has been separated into 2  phase s. In both the phase s we 
will try to see if the vaccine works to prevent COVID -19, as well as : 
• Phase  1 where we choose which vaccines at which dose  level s are safest and 
make the most antibodies . 
• Phase  2/3 where we look at one vaccine at one dose level in lots of people to  
collect even more information about the safety of the vaccines and the amounts 
of antibodies they produce . 
You are being asked to take part in Phase  2/3.  
The study will compare the results of the people who receive the study vaccine 
(BNT162b2 ) with those who receive a placebo  (a placebo does not contain any active 
ingredients).  In this study the placebo will be salt -water, also known as normal saline. 
Every one in  Phase  2/3 of the study will receive 2 injections of either:

• Study vaccine followed by study vaccine  
• Placebo followed by  placebo  
In Phase 2/3 everyone who receives the study vaccine will receive the same vaccine at 
the same dose, that was chosen based on the results from Phase 1.  
The study doctor will determine whether you are eligible for the study. This study will 
require you to visit the study doctor  to undergo study procedures and to provide 
information about your health.  You will also be required to contact  the study doctor if 
you experience any of the COVID -19 symptoms  (explained later in this document).  
 
4. How long will I par ticipate in this study?   
You could  be in this study for up to about  26 months . You will need to visit the study site 
6 to 7 planned times  during the study, and any time after you have experienced COVID -
19 symptoms and are feeling better  in about a month’s time .  
5. How many people will take part in this study?  
Approximately 44,193 healthy people could take part in the 2 phase s of this study.  In 
Phase  2/3 of the study up to 43,998 people will take part.  
It is expected that about [number]  people will participate in Phase  2/3 of the study at this 
location.  
6. What will happen during this study?  
Before any study procedures begin, or before you begin preparing for the study, you will 
be asked to read and sign this consent document.  
After signing this consent document, the study doctor will check if you meet all of the 
requirements to take part in this study. If you do not meet the requirements, you will not 
be able to take part in the study and the study doctor will explain why this is the case.  
Study Vaccine s 
Once the study doctor  has confirmed you meet the study requirements , you will be 
randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to receive the study vaccine or placebo.  For 
every 1 person  who receive the study vaccine, 1 person will receive the placebo. No 
one (including you, your personal doctor and the study team) can choose this 
assignment .  
This is a n ‘observer -blind study’ , which means that you  and the study doctor will not 
know whether you are receiving the study vaccine or placebo , but the person who gives 
you the vaccine will know because the vaccine and placebo do not look the same . 
However, the syringe will be covered with a label so the contents are not visible and the 
person that gives you the vaccine will not be able to talk a bout it with you. In case of

Blood samples for antibody testing  
You will have blood taken 5 times during the planned visits of the study. This will be 
used to test if you already had antibodies against the coronavirus that causes COVID -
19 when you enrolled in the study and may be used to test your antibody levels  after 
vaccinat ion. About 20mL of blood (about 4 teaspoons) will be collected f rom your arm 
using a needle at these visits.    
 E-Diary 
At Visit 1, the study team will show you how to fill in an electronic diary (or e -Diary).  We 
will either give you a device (a bit like a mobile phone) or ask you to download an 
application (‘app’) to your smart phone if you have one. The device/app is sec ure and 
your confidentiality will be maintained.  
 
There are 2 parts to the e -Diary. Everyone will need to complete the COVID -19 illness 
part of the e -Diary on the device or app on your smartphone. The COVID -19 illness e -
Diary will prompt you to record any COVID -19 symptoms (see below) every 7 days or at 
any time you have COVID -19 symptoms.  You may also receive text messages to the 
device or your own smartphone, or emails (if you provide your email address) to remind 
you to complete the COVID -19 illness part of the e -Diary.  
If you are part of a subset of participants, you will also be instructed by the study team 
to complete the vaccination part of the e-Diary for 7 days after each vaccination, once a 
day in the evening with the first day being th e day of the vaccination.  
 
You will be given a thermometer and a measuring device to take home.  You will use 
the thermometer to measure your temperature under your tongue and you will use the 
measuring device to measure any redness or swelling where the i njection was given.  
You will need to record these measurements in the vaccination part of the e-Diary.  
The vaccination part of the  e-Diary will also ask other questions about potential side 
effects you may have after the injection.  If you have any severe  symptoms after your 
vaccination, you should contact your study doctor and the study doctor or nurse may 
schedule an extra visit.  
It is very important that you complete the e -Diary regularly as instructed. If you do not, 
your study doctor or nurse will contact you to check how you are . 
Urine pregnancy test  
If you’re a woman  who is able to have children , you will have a urine  pregnancy test to 
check you are not pregnant before you get the study injection .

What happens if I have positive nasal swab test result?  
Nasal swabs obtained during the study (at Visits 1 and 2, and at the time of a potential 
COVID -19 illness – see below) will be tested in a research laboratory. P ositive results 
from the Visit 1 and 2 swabs, and all results from the illness visit swabs, will be provided 
to your study doctor, but this will take some time  so you should not rely on these for 
medical tre atment . If you has a positive nasal swab  test result for the coronavirus that 
causes COVID -19, either at Visit 1 or any time between Visit 1 and Visit 2 , but with no 
potential COVID -19 related symptoms , you will continue to receive the second study 
vaccine  as normal. However, if the  positive COVID -19 test result is accompanied by 
potential COVID -19 related symptoms, you will not be given the second study vaccine 
but will be requested to remain in the study.  
 
If You Get COVID -19 Symptoms  
If you get any of the following you must contact the study doctor straight away . 
Note that this is not instead of  your  routine medical care. If you feel unwell 
enough that you would normally see a healthcare professional, please contact 
your  usual provider , as well as the s tudy doctor . 
 
• A diagnosis of COVID -19; 
• Fever;  
• New or increased cough;  
• New or increased shortness of breath;  
• Chills ; 
• New or increased  muscle pain ;  
• New l oss of taste/smell ; 
• Sore throat ; 
• Diarrhea;  
• Vomiting . 
 
The study doctor may ask you to have a telephone conversation , video call or to visit 
the site  to talk about how you are feeling and if you have needed any other medical 
care. They will also ask you to take a nose swab  or take one from you to  check for the 
coronavirus. We will give you separate instructions about how to take a nose swab 
yourself  and how to ship the swab to the laboratory  if needed . The result from this swab 
will be provided to the study doctor  once it is available, but this wi ll take some  time, and 
cannot be used to diagnose you with COVID -19. This is why it is important that you 
contact your usual provider if you have COVID -19 symptoms and think you need 
medical care.

Up until the end of 2020, the safety of BNT162b2 has been studied in clinical trials that have 
included 21,744 people  16 yrs of age and older who have received at least one dose of the 
vaccine . In addition, since the vaccine has been approved for emergency  use in many 
countries, about 26 million doses have been distributed.  
Based on th e clinical study results, and information gathered during general use, the following 
risks have been determined to be caused by BNT162b2 vaccine:  
Very common  (occurring in more than 1 in 10 people ): injection site pain, injection site swelling, 
fatigue (tiredness), increased body temperature (fever, more common after the second dose), 
chills, headache, joint aches, and muscle aches.  
Common ( between 1 in 10 and 1 in 100 people ): feeling sick (nausea), and injection site 
redness.  
Uncommon ( between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 people ): enlarged lymph glands, allergic reactions 
(symptoms may include rash, itching, hives, and swelling of the face or lips ), pain in arm, and 
feeling weak or  unwell.  
Frequency cannot be estimated from available data: severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).  
As in all research studies, the COVID -19 vaccine may involve risks that might be expected 
based on results from studies of similar vaccines , as well as risk s that are currently unknown.  
Therefore, it is important that you report all symptoms and side effects that you experience as 
soon as they occur, whether or not you think they are caused by the study vaccine.  
Due to the way in which the study vaccines are made, they cannot cause COVID -19 disease.  
If I catch COVID -19 disease, could the vaccine make it worse?  
For some other vaccines tested in animals  against similar viruses (but not the coronavirus that 
causes COVID -19), there have been reports of the illness being more severe in the anim als that 
received the vaccine than in those that did not. So far this has not been seen with BNT162b2. It 
remains important for you to contact your study doctor if you develop symptoms that might be 
caused by COVID -19 (for example, fever, cough, shortness of breath).  
 
Placebo Risks  
As the placebo injection contain s salt -water and no active ingredients, the chances of 
having the side effects mentioned above are less likely. In other  studies  using the same 
placebo , some people who received the placebo injecti on reported pain, bruising, 
swelling and redness at the site of injection.

Pregnancy -Related Risks; Use of Birth Control  
If you are currently pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding a child, you 
should not join this study.  
If you are able to have children and you are sexually active, you must use birth control 
consistently and correctly for at least 28 days after you receive your last injection .  This 
applies to men as well as women who take part in the research study.  The study doctor 
will discuss with you the methods of birth control that you should use while you are in 
this research study an d will help you select the method(s) that is appropriate for you.  
The study doctor will also check that you understand how to use the birth control 
method and may review this with you at each of your research study visits.   
 
Birth control methods, even w hen used properly are not perfect.  If you or your partner 
becomes pregnant during the research study, or you want to stop your required birth 
control during the research study, you should tell the study doctor immediately .  You 
may b e withdrawn from the research study if you stop using birth control or you become 
pregnant.  
 
Pregnancy Follow -up 
If you or your partner become pregnant during the study, up until 6 months after you last 
study injection , please tell the study doctor immediat ely. Please also tell the doctor who 
will be taking care of you/your partner during the pregnancy that you took part in this 
study. The study doctor will ask if you/your partner or your pregnancy doctor is willing to

Vaccination with BNT162b2 has been shown to be effective in preventing COVID -19 in 
the groups of people already studied, but not yet in people like you. Because of this, 
and the fact that you may receive the placebo vaccination, you still need to follow local 
recommendations about how to avoid COVID -19 (for example, social distancing and  
mask use).   
10. What will happen to my blood and nasal swab samples?  
Your blood and nasal swab  samples will be used only for scientific research.  Each 
sample will be labeled with a code so that the laboratory workers testing the samples 
will not know who you are.  Some of the samples may be stored for future testing and 
may be kept for up to 15 ye ars after the study ends, at which time they will be 
destroyed.  In addition to testing for this study, any samples left over after the study is 
complete may be used for additional research related to the development of products. 
No testing of your DNA  will be performed.  
You may request that your samples, if they can be identified, be destroyed at any time. 
Any data already collected from those samples will still be used for the study. The 
samples will remain the property of BioNTech/ Pfizer and may be share d with other 
researchers as long as confidentiality is maintained and no testing of your DNA  will be 
performed. You will not be told of additional tests, nor will you receive results of any of 
these tests.  
11. What other choices do I have if I do not join thi s study?

We are asking if you would like  to be in a research study  to see if a vaccine to prevent 
COVID -19 is safe and if it can help prevent children  and adults  from getting COVID -19.  
Research studies are  the way we find out if test medicines or vaccines  are safe and if they 
work.  
The study is being done with healthy children and adults and that is why the study doctor 
wants to know if you want to take part in the research study . 
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS STUDY ? 
We are doing this study to collect information  in children and adults to see if the vaccine is 
safe and if it can help prevent people  from getting COVID -19. 
 
The study doctor and nurses will explain the study and answer any questions that you have.  
You can circle or highlight things on this paper you  want to know more about.  If you don’t 
understand something, just ask us.  It is okay to ask questions now and anytime later that you 
think of them.  
If you decide to be in this study, you will be asked to sign this form.  Your parent(s) or your 
guardian(s ) will sign another form.  You can talk to your parent(s) or your guardian(s) and ask 
to read the information the study doctor gives them .   
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ME IF I GO INTO THE STUDY ? 
The study starts with a n appointment  with the study doctor  and some  tests to see if you can 
be in the study.  If you decide to take part in the study you will be given an injection in your 
arm at your first and second visit and will need to give at least 5 blood samples. There will be 
at least 6 visits to the study clinic over roughly the next 2 years.  
If you get ill with COVID -19 like symp toms you will need to visit the study clinic and give 
another blood sample.  This blood  sample is 20 mL if you are 16 years  of age or above , and it 
is 10 mL if you are between 12 to 15 years of age . If you would like to know what 10 mL or 20 
mL looks like please ask the study team and they will be able to show you the tubes they will 
collect  the blood in.

 At your first visit, the study doctor or nurse will give you or your parent(s) / guardian (s) a 
device (a bit like a mobile phone) or ask to download an application ( ‘app’) to smart phone if 
you or your parent(s)/ guardian (s) have one. The device/app is secure and your information

illness part of the e -Diary on the device or app on their smartphone. The COVID -19 illness e -
Diary will prompt you  or your parent(s)/ guardian(s) to record any COVID -19 symptoms every 
7 days or at any time you have  COVID -19 symptoms.  You or your parent(s)/ guardian(s) may 
also receive text messages to your / their device or your / their  own smartphone, or emails (if 
you or your parent(s)/ guardian(s) provide an email addre ss) to remind you or your parent(s)/ 
guardian(s) to complete the COVID -19 illness part of the e -Diary.  
If you are part of a selected group of participants , you or your parent(s)/ guardian (s) will also 
be asked  to fill in an e-Diary  about how you are feeling for 7 days  afer your vaccine injections .

At your first visit:  
• Before you are given your injection , the study doctor or nurse will take your 
temperature , measure your heigh t and weight, do a physical  exam  and ask you some 
questions about your health.  
 
• The study doctor or nurse will take a blood sample from your arm using a needle (this 
will be either 20mL or 10 mL depending on your age group ) and take a sample from 
your nose using a swab (like a Q -tip).  
 
• You will then be given  an injection  into the muscle at the top of your arm.

 What are the Study Injections ? 
There are 2 types of injections in the study. The active study injection and a dummy placebo 
injection. A dummy placebo is a pretend vaccine that looks just like the test vaccine but has 
no active ingredients in it.  
Once the study doctor has checked that it is OK for you to be in the study a computer will 
decide if you will get the active study injection or the dummy placebo.  You and your 
parent(s)/guardian(s) will not be told which injection you will get.  
For every 1 child/ young person  who receive s the study vaccine, 1  child/ young person  will 
receive the placebo. No one (including you, your parents, your personal doctor or the study 
team) can choose which injection you will get .  
 
WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE BENEFITS  TO ME IF I AGREE TO BE IN  THIS 
STUDY?  
Vaccination with BNT162b2 (which is active study injection) has been shown to be effective 
in preventing COVID -19 in the groups of people already studied, but not yet in children/young 
people  like you. Because of this, and the fact that you ma y receive the placebo vaccination, 
you still need to follow local recommendations about how to avoid COVID -19 (for example, 
social distancing and mask use).  
 
WHAT ARE THE  POSSIBLE UNCOMFORTABLE OR HARMFUL  THINGS 
THAT COULD HAPPEN TO ME IF I AGREE TO BE IN THIS STUDY?  
There is a chance that during the study you could feel pain or feel bad or uncomfortable.  
Please let the study doctor know if you experience any of these things.  The study team will 
monitor you for risks or discomforts during the study.  However, the study team does not 
know all the effects that the vaccine, or your participation in this study, may have on you.  
The injection could cause pain, swelling, and redness  where it is given . 
Other side effects could include fatigue (tiredness), increased body temperature (fever), 
chills, headache, joint aches, muscle aches, feeling sick (nausea), enlarged lymph glands, 
allergic reaction (symptoms may include rash, itching, hives, and swelling of the face or lips), 
pain in arm, feeling weak or unwell, and severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).

2. Brief Summary of this Study  
You are being asked to allow your child to take part in a research study  that involves 
comparing an investigational (study) vaccine against a placebo (injection with no active 
ingredient) to see if the vaccine can prevent COVID -19. The vaccine is given by 
injection.   
Depending on your child’s age, mental status and local laws, the study team may need 
to verify your child’s agreement (called “assent”) to take part  in this study . Your 
child  may give assent verbally, or they may be asked to print or sign their name on an 
assent document similar to this consent document. They may have a n opportunity to 
meet privately with a member of the study team to ask confidential questions. Your child 
will also be able to decide not to take part  for confidential reasons, which, if they 
request, would not be shared with you unless required by local law. Also, if your child 
reach es the legally recognized age of majority (adulthood) during the study, they must 
separately provide their consent to continue taking part in the study.  
You are be ing asked to allow your child to be in this research study because your child 
is healthy and  over the age of 12. 
This is a research study involving both Pfizer and B ioNTech . Pfizer and BioNTech are 
separate companies who are cooperating to perform this stu dy. Pfizer is responsible for 
conducting this study. B ioNTech  is the regulatory sponsor of  this study. Funding for this 
study is provided by BioNTech  and Pfizer and [the study doctor/institution]  will be paid 
to conduct this study.  
A new respiratory disease appeared in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has since 
rapidly spread to many other countries around the world. In January 2020, the cause of 
this disease was found to be a new Coronavirus ; and the disease it causes was named 
COVID -19 (Coronavirus disease 2019). Since then, many companies around the World 
have quickly started to look for treatments and ways to prevent COVID -19.  
Vaccines help your body to produce antibodies to help you to fight off a disease . This 
research study involve s 2 investigational vaccines to prevent COVID -19, that will be

given to volunteers . The vaccines are given by injection. The vaccines are  slightly 
different but work in the same way. The study  will also test each of these vaccines at 
different dose  level s (amounts of vaccine).  
These vaccines do not contain the whole virus, or the parts of the virus that can make 
your child  ill, instead the vaccines are made up of part of the virus’s genetic code, 
surrounded by fatty particles called lipids. They use a pers ons cells’ protein making 
machinery to produce some, or all , of the spike protein seen on the outside of the virus. 
This spike protein, made by your child’s body, may help your  child’s  body to produce 
antibodies to fight against COVID -19. We will check how  many antibodies you r child  
make s by taking blood samples and testing them . 
 
 
This study is different from your child’s regular medical care. The purpose of regular 
medical care is to improve or otherwise manage your child’s health, but the purpose of 
research is to gather information to advance science and medicine and does not 
replace your child’s regular medical care.  If you r child  need s medical care during their 
time in the study, you should contact your regular provider and inform the study team, 
as described later in this document.  
Allowing your child to t aking part in this study is voluntary (your choice). There is no 
penalty or change to you or your child’s regular medical care if y ou decide  not to allow 
your child to participate. You can  choose  to let your child take part  in the study  now, and 
then change your mind later at any time  without losing any benefits or medical care to 
which you or your child are entitled. We encourage you to have conversations with your 
family, friends , doctors , and study team about this study and whether it is right for your 
child . The study team will work with you to answer any questions that you may have 
about the study.  
You will receive a signed copy of this consent document for your records. Please keep 
this consent document for your reference.  
 
3. What is the purpose of this study?  
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared COVID -19 to be a pandemic  (a 
disease that has spread all over the world and is affecting lots of people) ; finding a 
vaccine to prevent COVID -19 is an urgent need.  To test this investigational vaccine as

quickly as possible, this study has been separated into 2  phase s. In both the phase s we 
will try to see if the vaccine works to prevent COVID -19, as well as : 
• Phase  1 where we choos e which vaccines at which dose  level s are safest and 
make the most antibodies . 
• Phase  2/3 where we look at one vaccine at one dose level in lots of people to  
collect even more information about the safety of the vaccines and the amounts 
of antibodies they produce . 
Your child is  being asked to take part in Phase  2/3.  
The study will compare the results of the people who receive the study vaccine 
(BNT162b2 ) with those who receive a placebo  (a placebo does not contain any active 
ingredients).  In this study the placebo will be salt -water, also known as normal saline. 
Everyone in  Phase  2/3 of the study will receive 2 injections of either:  
• Study vaccine followed by study vaccine  
• Placebo followed by  placebo  
In Phase 2/3 everyone who receives the study vaccine will receive the same vaccine at 
the same dose, that was chosen based on the results from Phase 1.  
The study doctor will determine whether you r child is eligible  for the study. This study 
will require y our child  to visit the study doctor  to undergo study procedures and to 
provide information about their health.  You/your child  will also be required to contact  
the study doctor if your child  experience any of the COVID -19 symptoms  (explained 
later in this document).  
 
4. How long will my child participate in this study?   
Your child  could  be in this study for up to about  26 months  and will need to visit the 
study site 6  or 7 planned times  during the study . Your child  will also need to visit the 
study site if they experience COVID -19 symptoms  and again  after they have recovered  
from those symptoms approximately in  a month’s time . 
5. How many adults and children will take part in this study?  
Approximately 44,193  volunteers could take part in the 2 phase s of this study.   
In Phase  2/3 of the study up to 43,998  volunteers will take part , in which approximately 
2000  will be of 12 to 15 years of age and the remaining will be above the age of 16 
years .

Before any study procedures begin, or before you r child  begin s preparing for the study, 
you will be asked to read and sign this consent document. We may also ask your child 
to read and sign a similar document.  
After signing this consent document, the study doctor will check if you r child  meet s all of 
the requirements to take part in this study. If you r child  does not meet the requirements, 
they will not be able to take part in the study and the study doctor will  explain why this is 
the case.  
Study Vaccine s 
Once the study doctor  has confirmed you r child  meet s the study requirements , you r 
child  will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to receive the study vaccine or 
placebo.  For every 1 volunteer  who receive s the study vaccine, 1  volunteer  will receive 
the placebo. No one (including you, your child, your child’s personal doctor or the study 
team) can choose th is assignment .  
This is a n ‘observer -blind study’ , which means that you , your child  and the study doctor 
will not know whether you r child will  receiv e the study vaccine or placebo . The person 
who gives you r child  the vaccine will know because the vaccine and placebo do not look 
the same . The syringe will be covered with a label so the co ntents are not visible and 
the person that gives you r child  the vaccine will not be able to talk about it. In case of 
urgent need, the study doctor can learn quickly whether you r child received  study 
vaccine or placebo .  
The study vaccine or placebo will b e given to you r child  through an injection into the 
muscle of the  upper arm. All volunteers will receive 2 injections, approximately 3 weeks 
apart. On the days you r child  receive s the study vaccine or placebo, you and your child 
will be asked to wait at the study site  for at least 30 minutes for observation . 
Overview of Study Procedures and Assessments  
The table below lists the tests and procedures or assessments that will  be done in this 
research study. In addition to the visits listed, the study doctor may ask you r child  to 
come in for extra visit(s) if necessary,  to protect their well-being.

Blood samples for antibody testing  
Your child  will have blood taken 5 times during the planned visits of the study. This will 
be used to test  if they already had antibodies against the coronavirus that causes 
COVID -19 when they enrolled in the study and may be used to test their antibody levels 
after vaccination . If you r child is 16 years  of age or above , about 20 mL of blood (about 
4 teaspoons) will be collected f rom their arm using a needle at these visits.  Alternatively, 
if your  child is between 12 to 15 years of age , about 10 mL of blood (about 2 teaspoons) 
will be collected from their arm using a needle at the above specified visits.  
E-Diary 
At Visit 1, the study team will show you or your child  how to fill in an electronic diary (or 
e-Diary). Parent(s)/ legal guardian (s), as appropriate, will be required to complete  the e -
diary on behalf of y ounger age group  children , whilst children in older age group might  
not require  similar level of support from their parent(s)/  legal guardian (s). Therefore,  
older age group children  (e.g. 16 years or above ) are expected to complete the e -diary 
themselves.  
 
We will either give you/ your child  a device (a bit like a mobile phone) or ask to 
download an application (‘app’) to smart phone if you or your child has  one. The 
device/app is secure,  and your  child ’s confidentiality will be maintained.  
 
There are 2 parts to the e -Diary. Everyone will need to complete the COVID -19 illness 
part of the e -Diary on the device or app on their smartphone. The COVID -19 illness e -
Diary will prompt you/ your child  to record any  COVID -19 symptoms (see below) every 7 
days or at any time you r child  has COVID -19 symptoms.  You or your child  may also 
receive text messages to the device or your /your child’s  own smartphone, or emails (if 
you/they  provide your /their  email address) to remind you /your child  to complete the 
COVID -19 illness part of the e -Diary.  
If you r child is  part of a subset of participants, you/ your child will also be instructed by 
the study team to complete the vaccination part of the e-Diary for  7 days after each 
vaccination, once a day in the evening with the first day being the day of the 
vaccination.  
 
You/ your child  will be given a thermometer and a measuring device to take home.  You/ 
your child  will use the thermometer to measure temperature  under the tongue  and will  
use the measuring device to measure any redness or swelling where the injection was 
given.  You/ your child  will need to record these measurements in the vaccination part of 
the e-Diary.  
The vaccination part of the  e-Diary will also ask other questions about potential side 
effects you r child  may have after the injection.  If you r child  has any severe s ymptoms

after vaccination, you/ your child  should contact your study doctor and the study doctor 
or nurse may schedule an extra visit.  
It is very important that you / your child, as appropriate,  complete the e -Diary regularly 
as instructed. If this was not completed , your study doctor or nurse will contact you / your 
child  to check how your child is doing . 
Urine pregnancy test  
If your child is female and has started her periods, she will be asked to provide a urine 
sample to check she is not pregnant before given  the study injection .  
 
What happens if my child  has positive nasal swab test result?  
Nasal swabs obtained during the study (at Visits 1 and 2, and at the time of a potential 
COVID -19 illness – see below) will be tested in a research laboratory. P ositive results 
from the Visit 1 and 2 swabs, and all results from the illness visit swabs, will be provided 
to your study doctor, but this will take some time  so you should not rely o n these for 
your child’s medical treatment . If your child has a positive nasal swab test result for the 
coronavirus that causes COVID -19, either at Visit 1 or any time between Visit 1 and 
Visit 2, but with no potential COVID -19 related symptoms, they will continue to receive 
the second study vaccine as normal. However, if the  positive COVID -19 test result is 
accompanied by potential COVID -19 related symptoms, they will not be given the 
second study vaccine but will be requested to remain in the study.  
If You r Child  Gets COVID -19 Symptoms

effects; however, the study team does not know all the effects that the study vaccine  
may have on you r child .  
If you r child  takes part in this study, the most likely risks or discomforts are discussed 
below.  
It is important that you / your child  report to the study team all symptoms and side 
effects as soon as they occur. Phone numbers for the study team are listed in 
[Section 1 ] of this consent document.  
 
Study Vaccine Risks  
Up until the end of 2020, the safety of BNT162b2 has been studied in clinical trials that have 
included 21,744 people  16 yrs of age and older who have received at least one dose of the 
vaccine . In addition, since the vaccine has been approved for emergency use in many 
countries, about 26 million doses have been distributed.  
Based on th e clinical study results, and information gathered during genera l use, the following 
risks have been determined to be caused by BNT162b2 vaccine:  
Very common  (occurring in more than 1 in 10 people ): injection site pain, injection site swelling, 
fatigue (tiredness), increased body temperature (fever, more common after t he second dose), 
chills, headache, joint aches, and muscle aches.  
Common ( between 1 in 10 and 1 in 100 people ): feeling sick (nausea), and injection site 
redness.  
Uncommon ( between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 people ): enlarged lymph glands, allergic reactions 
(symptoms may include rash, itching, hives, and swelling of the face or lips ), pain in arm, and 
feeling weak or unwell.  
Frequency cannot be estimated from available data: severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).  
As in all research studies, the COVID -19 vacc ine may involve risks that might be expected 
based on results from studies of similar vaccines , as well as risks that are currently unknown.  
Therefore, it is important that you / your child  report all symptoms and side effects that your child  
experience s as soon as they occur, whether or not you think they are caused by the study 
vaccine.  
Due to the way in which the study vaccines are made, they cannot cause COVID -19 disease.  
If my child  catch es COVID -19 disease, could the vaccine make it worse?  
For some other vaccines tested in animals  against similar viruses (but not the coronavirus that 
causes COVID -19), there have been reports of the illness being more severe in the animals that

received the vaccine than in those that did not. So far this has not been seen with BNT162b2. It 
remains important for you / your child  to contact your child’s study doctor if you r child  develop 
symptoms that might be caused by COVID -19 (for example, fever, cough, short ness of breath).  
Placebo Risks  
As the placebo injection contain s salt -water and no active ingredients, the chances of 
having the side effects mentioned above are less likely. In other  studies,  using the same 
placebo , some volunteers who received the placebo injection reported pain, bruising, 
swelling and redness at the site of inj ection.  
 
Risks from Study Procedures  
Risks and possible discomforts from the study procedures include:  
• Blood samples:  The risks and possible discomforts involved in taking blood 
include pain from inserting the needle, or less often, swelling, bruising, or 
infection around the vein where the blood is collected.  You r child  may feel dizzy 
or may faint. If you r child  has a previous history of feeling dizzy or fainting during 
blood sample collection, you should talk to the study doctor.  
• Nasal S wabs : The risks and possible discomforts invo lved in takin g nasal swabs 
may include pain or general discomfort. Sometimes it may cause the nose to 
bleed.  
 
Pregnancy -Related Risks; Use of Birth Control  
If your child is currently pregnant, plans to become pregnant, or is breastfeeding a child, 
they should not join this study.  
If you r child is able to have children and is sexually active, they must use birth control 
consistently and correctly for at least 28 days after they receive their last injection .  This 
applies to males  as well as females  who take part in the research study.  The study 
doctor will discuss with you r child  the methods of bi rth control that they should use while 
in this research study . The study doctor will help you r child select the method that is 
appropriate for them .  The study doctor will also check that you r child understand s how 
to use the birth control method and may r eview this with them  at each of their research 
study visits.   
 
Birth control methods, even when used properly are not perfect.  If you r child  or their 
partner becomes pregnant during the research study, or if they  want to stop their 
required birth control during the research study, they should tell the study doctor 
immediately .  You r child  may b e withdrawn from the research study if they stop using 
birth control or they become pregnant.

9. What are possible benefits of this study?  
Vaccination with BNT162b2 has been shown to be effective in preventing COVID -19 in 
the groups of people already studied, but not yet in the case of your child . Because of 
this, and the fact that you r child  may receive the placebo vaccination, they still ne ed to 
follow local recommendations about how to avoid COVID -19 (for example, social 
distancing and mask use).  
 
10. What will happen to my  child’s  blood and nasal swab 
samples?  
Your child’s blood and nasal swab  samples will be used only for scientific research.  
Each sample will be labeled with a code so that the laboratory workers testing the 
samples will not know who you r child  is.  Some of the samples may be stored for future 
testing and may be kept for up to  15 years after the study ends, at which time they will 
be destroyed.  In addition to testing for this study, any samples left over after the study 
is complete may be used for additional research related to the development of products. 
No testing of your child’s DNA  will be performed.  
You may request that your child’s samples, if they can be identified, be destroyed at any 
time. Any data already collected from those samples will still be used for the study. The 
samples will remain the property of BioNTech/ Pfizer and may be shared with other 
researchers as long as confidentiality is maintained,  and no testing of your child’s DNA  
will be performed. You  and your child  will not be told of additional tests, nor will you or 
your child receive results of any of the se tests.
