ATTACHMENT A — DEFERRAL REQUEST 
 
Product Name COVID-19 Vaccine (BNT162, PF-07302048) 
IND number 019736 Applicant  BioNTech Proposed Initial Indication  Ac tive immunization against COVID- 19 in 
individuals ≥16 years of age 
Future Supplemental Indications  Active immunization against COV ID-19 in children 
and adolescents 12 through 15 years of age; Active 
immunization against COV ID-19 in children and 
infants <12 years of age.
1.  Pediatric age g roups for whom 
deferrals are requested Adolescents, children, an d infants 15 years of age 
and younger 
2.  Reason for requesting deferral of 
pediatric studies (address each age group separately and for each group choose all that apply): A deferral of the evalu ation of the COVID-19 
vaccine in individuals ≤15 y ears of age is requested 
based on the following Criteria for Deferral (Section 505B(a)(4)(A)(i)(I) of  the Act): “Pediatric 
studies should be delayed until additional safety or 
effectiveness data have b een collected” and “The 
drug or biological product will  be ready for approval 
for use in adults before p ediatric studies are 
complete.” 
Adequate evidence of saf ety and efficacy has been 
established in the pivotal study C4591001 in 
individuals ≥16 years of a ge to allow Emergency 
Use Authorization in that age group. Study C4591001 includes subjects 12 through 17 years of age.  It wasis  appropriate to defer studies in 
children 6 months5  to <1211 years of age until 
adequate safety and imm unogenicity information 
wasis  available in 12- through 15-year-old children 
and adolescents.  It woul d then be appropriate to 
defer further age-de-escalation to <6 months until 
adequate safety data is available in 6 
month5  through 11-year-old children.
