Y
ou were asked by  the study s ite whether you w ould consider your child receiving 
BNT162b2 vaccine (active study vaccine) if they received placebo during the earl ier part  
of the study.  Since it is confir med that they  received placebo, and have expressed 
willingness  to receive the BNT162b2 vaccine, you are now being asked to read, sign 
and date this consent document  before c ommencing any new set of study -related 
procedures.  
A
fter signing this consent addendum , the study doctor will check if y our child meets  all 
the requirements to receive BNT162b2 vacci ne. If they do not meet the requirements, 
they will not be able to receive the vaccine  and the study doctor will explain why this is 
the case.  
O
nce the study doc tor has confirmed your child  meet  the study requi rements  to receiv e 
BNT1 62b2 vaccine , they will receive 2 injections, appr oximately 3 weeks apart . The 
injection will be  given into the muscle in their  upper arm  and will be asked to wait at the 
study site for at least 30 minutes for observation after receivi ng the vaccine .

•you will remember that your child has been asked to attend an extra visit (i.e.
convalescent visit) to the study site about a month after their potential COVID -19
illness visit. Now, that the study team has obtained enough clinical data in the
study from these convalescent vi sits, it is no longer a requirement for your child
to attend this extra visit after their  potential COVID -19 illness.
•You will also rem ember  that you and/or  your child have been asked to tell  the
study  doctor immediately if your child  or their  partner become pregnant during
the study, up until 6 months after their  last study injection. However, the reporting
duration has now been revised to 28days after their  last study injection.
Study Vaccine Risks 
Up until the June 2021 , the s afety of BNT162b2 has been studied in clinical trials that 
have included about 28,500 people who have received at least one dose of the vaccine. 
In addition, since the vaccine has been approved for emergency use or received a 
conditional marketi ng authorization in many countries, by the end of April 2021 about 
400 million doses have been distributed.  
B
ased on the clinical study results , and information gathered during general use, the 
following risks have been determined to be caused by BNT162b2 vaccine:  
V
ery common (occurring in more than 1 in 10 people): i njection site pain, injectio n site 
swelling, fatigue (tiredness), increased body temperature ( fever , more common after  the 
second dose), chills, headache, diarrhea,  joint aches , and muscle aches.  
C
ommon ( between 1 in 10 and 1 in 100 people): feeling sick (nausea) , being sick 
(vomiting), and injection site redness.  
U
ncommon ( between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1, 000 people): enlarged lymph glands , allergic 
reactions (symptoms may include rash, itchi ng, hives ), decreased appetite, lethargy , 
sweating and night sweats, pain in arm, and feeling weak or unwell . 
R
are (between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 10,000 people): swelling of the face or lips.  
F
requency that cannot be estim ated from available data: severe allergic reaction 
(anaphylaxis) . 
M
yocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the 
lining outside the heart) have occurred in some people who have received BNT162b2. Cases have mainly been reported in males under 30 years of age and following the

females as well as following the first vaccination.  The chance of having this occur is 
very low and, i n most of these people, symptoms began within a few days to a week 
following vaccina tion. As a precaution, y our child should seek medical attention right 
away if they  have any of the following symptoms after receiving the v accine:  
•Chest pain
•Shortness of breath
•Feelings of having a fast -beating, fluttering, or pounding heart
P
lease also notify study staff, when appropriate, if your child has  any of these 
symptoms.  
W
hilst some severe cases have been reported, most cases have been associated with 
full resolution of symptoms in the short term, however, long-term follow -up is limited.  It 
is not known whether the risk of myocarditis or pericarditis is increased following 
additional doses of the vaccine, e.g. following a booster dose.  
I
f your child has had myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) or pericarditis 
(inflammation of the lining outside the heart) previously, please tell your child’s study 
doctor.  
T
he part of this study that included 2,260 12-15 year olds ( 1131 of whom received 
BNT162b2) demonstrated similar risks in this age group.  There were no confi rmed 
cases o f myocarditis  or pericarditis in the data from this part of the study, however as 
mentioned above there is a very low chance that  this may occur after vaccination.  
A
s in all research studi es, the COVID -19 vaccine may involve risks that might be 
expect ed based on results from studies of similar vaccines , as well as risks that are 
currently unknown.  
T
herefore, it is important that you/your child report al l symptoms and side effects that 
your child  experiences as soon as they occur, whether or not you think they are caused 
by the study vaccine.  
D
ue 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 (b ut not the 
coronavirus that causes COVID -19), there have been reports of the illness being more 
severe in the animals that received the vac cine than in those that did not. So far this has

child’s study  doctor if your child  develop symptoms that might be caused by COVID -19 
(for example, fever, cough, s hortness  of breath).  
Key Remind ers 
Vaccinati on with BNT162b2 has been shown to be ef fective in preventing
COVID -19 but your child still needs  to follow local recommendat ions about how
to avoid COVID -19 (for example, social distancing and mask use).
It is also very important that you continue to complete the COVID -19 Illnes s e-
Diary regul arly on your child’ s behal f as ins tructe d. If you do not, your study
doctor or nurse will contact you or your child to check how they are.
Will 
my child be paid for receiving  the active study vaccine and for the additional 
visits to the study site? ? 
Your child will not receive any payment fo r receiving the active study vaccine . However,  
you will be reimbursed $XX.XX by the study  site for the onsite visit(s) yo u/your child 
complete as part of th eir new study schedule to cover out -of-pocket expenses, such as

(vomiting) , enlarged lymph glands , allergic reaction (symptoms may include rash, 
itching, hives, and swelling of the face or lips) , decreased appetite, lethargy, sw eating 
and night sweats,  pain in arm , feeling weak or unwell , and severe allergic reaction 
(anaphylaxis).   
Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart) have occurred in some people who have received BNT162b2. 
Cases have mainly been reported in males under 30 years of age and following the 
second vaccination, however, there have been some cases reported in older males and 
females as well as following the first vaccination.  The chance of  having this occur is 
very low and in most of these people, symptoms began within a few days to a week 
following vaccin ation. As a prec aution, y ou should seek medical attention right away if 
you have any of the following symptoms after receiving the vaccine:  
•Ches t pain
•Shortness of breath
•Feelings of having a fast -beating, fluttering, or pounding heart
P
lease also notify study staff, when appropriate, if you have any of these symptoms.  
W
hilst some severe cases have been reported, most cases have been associated with 
full resolution of symptoms in the short term, however, long-term follow -up is limited. It 
is not known whether the risk of myocarditis or pericarditis is increased following 
additional doses of the vaccine, e.g. following a booster dose.

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 l aw. 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 being asked to allow your child to be in this research study becau se 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 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 si nce 
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 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  levels (amounts of vaccine).  
These vaccines do not cont ain 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 persons  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 n o 
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 wor k 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 Organ ization (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 levels are safest and
make the most antibodie s.
•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 . 
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 . 
6. What will happen during this study?
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 nee d 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 ab out potential side 
effects you r child  may have after the injection.  If you r child  has any severe symptoms

Study Vaccine Risks  
Up until June 2021, the safety of BNT162b2 has been studied in clinical trials that have 
included about 28,500  people who have received at least one dose of the vaccine. In 
addition, since the vaccine has been approved for emergency use or rece ived a 
conditional marketing authorization in many countries, by the end of April 2021 about 400 
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, diarrhea,  joint aches, and muscle aches.  
Common (between 1 in 10 and 1 in 100 people): feeling sick (nausea), being sick 
(vomiting), and injection site redness.  
Uncommon (between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 people): enlarged lymph glands, allergic 
reactions (sym ptoms may include rash, itching, hives ), decreased appetite, lethargy, 
sweating and night sweats,  pain in arm, and feeling weak or unwell.  
Rare (between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 10,000 people): swelling of the face or lips.  
Frequency that cannot be estimated from available data: severe allergic reaction 
(anaphylaxis).  
Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the 
lining outside the heart) have occurred in some people who have received BN T162b2.  
Cases have mainly been reported in males under 30 years of age and following the 
second vaccination, however, there have been some cases reported in older males and 
females as well as following the first vaccination.  The chance of having this occur  is 
very low and , in most of these people, symptoms began within a few days to a week 
following vaccination . As a precaution,  your child  should seek medical attention right 
away if you r child  has any of the following symptoms after receiving the vaccine:  
•Chest pain
•Shortness of breath

•Feelings of having a fast -beating, fluttering, or pounding heart
Please also notify study staff, when appropriate, if you r child has any of these symptoms.  
Whilst some severe cases have been reported, most cases have been associated with 
full resolution of symptoms in the short term, however, long -term follow -up is limited. It is 
not known whether the risk of myocarditis or pericarditis is increased following additional 
doses of the vaccine, e.g. following a booster dose.  
If you r child  has had myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) or pericarditis 
(inflammation of the lining outside the heart) p reviously, please tell their study doctor.  
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 / 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 i mportant 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, shortness of breath).  
Placebo Risks  
As the placebo injection contain s salt -water and no active ing redients, 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 injection.

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, 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.

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. You should still 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 inje ction could cause pain, swelling, and redness  where it is given . 
Other side effects could include fatigue (tiredness), increased body temperature (fever), 
chills, headache, diarrhea,  joint aches, muscle aches, feeling sick (nausea), being sick 
(vomiting),  enlarged lymph glands, allergic reaction (symptoms may include rash, itching, 
hives, and swelling of the face or lips), decreased appetite, lethargy, sweating and night 
sweats, pain i n arm, feeling weak or unwell, and severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).

 Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining 
outside the heart) have occurred in some people who have received the active study vaccine . 
Cases have mainly been reported in males under 30 years of age and following the second 
vaccination, however, there have been some cases reported in older males and females as 
well as following the first vaccination.  The chance of having this occu r is very low and , in most 
of these people, symptoms began within a few days to a week following vaccination . As a 
precaution, y ou should seek medical a ttention right away if you have any of the following 
symptoms after receiving the vaccine:  
• Chest pain  
• Shortness of breath  
• Feelings of having a fast -beating, fluttering, or pounding heart  
 
Please also notify study staff, when appropriate, if you have any of these symptoms.  
 
Whilst some severe cases have been reported, most cases have been associated with full 
resolution of symptoms in the short term, however, long -term follow -up is limited. It is not 
known whether the risk of myocarditis or pericarditis is  increased following additional doses of 
the vaccine, e.g. following a booster dose.  
 
If you have had myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) or pericarditis (inflammation of 
the lining outside the heart)  previously, please tell your study doctor.  
 
In addition,  
• Taking a blood sample may:  
o hurt when the needle goes into your arm.   
o cause a red spot or bruise on your arm or your arm might feel sore.   
o make you feel dizzy.   
o cause an infection at the place where the needle went into your arm.  
• Taking a swab from your nose may:  
o hurt when the  sample i s taken.   
o Cause your nose to bleed .   
• You may feel embarrassed by the questions the study doctor or nurse asks you.
