 1. INTRODUCTION  
1.1. Product Details  
Table  1. Product Detailsa 
Product  COVID -19 Vaccine , mRNA, herein after r eferred to as BNT162b2  is a 
nucleoside -modified messenger RNA –((modRNA ) encoding the viral spike 
(S) glycoprotein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS -
CoV -2). 
Brief description of the 
product  Chemical class:  
Nucleoside -modRNA formu lated in lipid particles . 
Mechanism  of Action : 
The modRNA in the BNT162b2  is formulated in lipid particles, which enable 
delivery of the RNA mRNA  into host cells to allow expression of the SARS -
CoV -2 S antigen. The vaccine elicits an immune response to the S antigen, 
which protects against COVID -19. 
Important information about its composition :  
• The BNT162b2  is a sterile suspension for injection.  
• The BNT162b2 is supplied as a frozen suspension in multiple dose vials .  
• Each vial must be diluted with 1.8 mL of sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride 
Injection, USP prior to use to form the vaccine.  
• Each dose of the BNT162 b2 contains 30 mcg of a nucleoside -modified 
messenger RNA (modRNA) encoding the viral spike (S) glycoprotein of 
SARS -CoV -2. 
• Each  0.3 mL  dose of the BNT162b2 also includes the following 
ingredients:  
lipids (0.43 mg (((4-hydroxybutyl)azanediyl)bis(hexane -6,1-diyl)bis(2 -
hexyldecanoate), 0.05 mg 2 [(-(polyethylene glycol  )-2000 ]-)-N,N-
ditetradecylacetamide, 0.09 mg 1,2 -distearoyl -sn-glycero -3-
phosphocholine, and 0.2 mg cholesterol), 0.01 mg potassium chloride, 
0.01 mg monobasic potassium phosphate, 0.36 mg sodium chloride, 
0.07 mg dibasic sodium phosphate dihydrate, and 6 mg sucrose. The 
diluent (0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP) contributes an additional 
2.16 mg sodium chloride per dose.  
• The BNT162b2 does not contai n preservative.  
• The vial stoppers are not made with natural rubber latex.  
Indication  Current : Active immunization to prevent COVID -19 caused by SARS -CoV -2 
in individuals 16 years of age and older.  
Proposed : Active immunization to prevent COVID -19 caused b y SAR S-CoV -
2 in individuals  12 years of age  and older . 
Dosage and route of 
administration  Proposed :  
A primary Current :  
BNT162b2 is administered intramuscularly as a  series of two doses (0 3 mL 
each) 3 weeks apart , intramuscular ly. 
 
A booster dose (a third dose) may be administered intramuscularly 
approximately 6 months after the second dose .There are no data available on 
the interchangeability of BNT162b2 with other COVID -19 vaccines to 
complete the vaccination series. Individuals who have received 1 dose of

 2. SAFETY SPECIFICATION  
2.1. Elements of the Safety Specification  
2.1.1.  Non-Clinical  
Nonclinical evaluation of BNT162b2  included pharmacology (mouse immunogenicity and 
NHP immunogenicity and challenge studies), pharmacokinetic (series of biodistribution, 
metabolism and pharmacokinetic studies), and toxicity (2 GLP rat repeat -dose toxicity and a 
GLP DART) studies in  vitro a nd in  vivo.  No additional toxicity studies are planned for 
BNT162b2 . 
Nonclinical studies in mice and NHP for BNT162b2  demonstrated both a strong neutralizing 
antibody response and a Th1 -type CD4+ and an IFN + CD8+ T-cell response.  The Th1 
profile is characterized by a strong IFNγ, but not IL -4, response indicating the absence of a 
potentially deleterious Th2 immune response and is a pattern favored for vaccine safety and 
efficacy.1  Rhesus macaques (Study VR -VRT -10671) that had received two IM 
immunizations with 100 µg BNT162b2  or saline 21 days apart were challenged with 1.05 × 
106 plaque forming units of SARS -CoV -2 (strain USA -WA1/2020), split equally between the 
intranasal and intratracheal routes.2  BNT162b2 provided complete protection from the 
presence of detectable viral RNA in the lungs compared to the saline control with no clinical, 
radiological or histopathological evidence of vaccine -elicited disease enhancement.   
An intravenous rat PK study, using an  LNP with the identical lipid composition as  
BNT162b2 , demonstrated that the novel lipid excipients in the LNP formulation, ALC -0315 
and ALC -0159, distribute from the plasma to the liver.  While there was no detectable 
excretion of either lipid in the urin e, the percent of dose excreted unchanged in feces was 
~1% for ALC -0315 and ~50% for ALC -0159.  Further studies indicated metabolism played a 
role in the elimination of ALC -0315.  Biodistribution was assessed using luciferase 
expression as a surrogate repo rter formulated like  BNT162b2 , with the identical lipid 
composition.  After IM injection of the LNP -formulated RNA encoding luciferase in 
BALB/c mice, luciferase protein expression was demonstrated at the site of injection 6  hours 
post dose and expression decreased over time to almost reach background levels after 9 days.  
Luciferase was detected to a lesser extent in the liver; expression was present at 6  hours after 
injection and was not detected by 48  hours after injection.  After IM administration of a 
radiolabeled LNP -mRNA formulation containing ALC -0315 and ALC -0159 to rats, the 
percent of administered dose was also greatest at the injection site. Outside of the injection 
site, total recovery of radioactivity was greatest in the liver and much lower in  the spleen, 
with very little recovery in the adrenal glands and ovaries.  The metabolism of ALC -0315 
and ALC -0159 was evaluated in blood, liver microsomes, S9 fractions, and hepatocytes from 
mice, rats, monkeys, and humans.  The in  vivo metabolism was exa mined in rat plasma, 
urine, feces, and liver samples from the PK study.  ALC -0315 and ALC -0159 are 
metabolized by hydrolytic metabolism of the ester and amide functionalities, respectively, 
and this hydrolytic metabolism is observed across the species eval uated.  
In GLP toxicity studies, two variants of the BNT162b2  candidate were tested, designated 
“variant 8” and “variant 9” (V8 and V9, respectively).  The variants differ only in their codon

 amino acid sequences of the encoded antigens are identical.  BNT162b2  (V9) was evaluated 
clinically and submitted for application.  Two  GLP -compliant repeat -dose toxicity studies 
were performed in Wistar Han rats; one with each varian t.  Both studies were 17 days in 
duration with a 3 -week recovery period.  A GLP -compliant DART study in Wistar  Han rats 
has also been completed.  Safety pharmacology, genotoxicity and carcinogenicity studies 
have not been conducted, in accordance with the 2005 WHO vaccine guideline.3 
The IM  route of exposure was selected for nonclinical investigation s as it is the clinical route 
of administration.  Rats were selected as the toxicology test species as they demonstrated an 
antigen -specific immune response to  the vaccine and are routinely used for regulatory 
toxicity studies with an extensive historical safety database.  
Administration of up to 100 µg BNT162b2 by IM injection to male and female Wistar Han 
rats once every week, for a total of 3  doses, was tolera ted without evidence of systemic 
toxicity.  Expected inflammatory responses to the vaccine were evident such as edema and 
erythema at the injection sites, transient elevation in body temperature, elevations in WBC 
count and acute phase reactants, and lower  A:G ratios.  Injection site reactions were common 
in all vaccine -administered animals and were greater after boost immunizations.  Changes 
secondary to inflammation included slight and transient reduction in body weights and 
transient reduction in reticul ocytes, platelets and RBC mass  parameters.  Decreased 
reticulocytes were reported in rats treated with the licensed LNP -siRNA pharmaceutical 
Onpattro™ (NDA # 210922) but have not been observed in humans treated with this 
biotherapeutic4  suggesting this i s a species -specific effect.  Decreased platelet counts were 
noted after repeat administration, but were small in magnitude of change, likely related to 
inflammation -related platelet activation and consumption, and unassociated with other 
alterations in he mostasis.  Elevated levels of gamma -glutamyl transferase were observed in 
the first repeat -dose toxicity study with BNT162b2 (V8) without evidence of cholestasis or 
hepatobiliary injury but was not recapitulated in the second repeat dose -toxicity study with 
BNT162b2  (V9), the final clinical candidate.  All changes in clinical pathology parameters 
and acute phase proteins were rever sed at the end of the recovery phase for BNT162b2 , with 
the exception of low magnitude higher red cell distribution width (consistent with a 
regenerative erythroid response) and lower A:G ratios (resulting from acute phase response) 
in animals administered  BNT162b2 .  Macroscopic pathology and organ weight changes were 
also consistent with immune activation and inflammatory response and included increased 
size and/or weight of draining iliac lymph nodes and spleen.  Vaccine -related microscopic 
findings at th e end of the dosing phase consisted of edema and inflammation in injection sites 
and surrounding tissues, increased cellularity in the draining iliac lymph nodes, bone marrow 
and spleen and hepatocyte vacuolation in the liver.  Vacuolation of periportal he patocytes, 
the only test article -related liver microscopic finding, was not associated with any 
microscopic evidence of hepatic injury or hepatic functional effects (i.e., liver functional 
enzymes were not elevated) and may be associated with hepatocyte up take of the LNP 
lipids.5  Microscopic findings at the end of the dosing phase were partially or completely 
recovered in all animals at the end of the 3 -week recovery period for BNT162b2 . A robust 
immune response was elicited to the BNT162b2  antigen.  
Admin istration of BNT162b2  to female rats twice before the start of mating and twice during 
gestation at the human clinical dose (30 µg) was associated with non -adverse effects (body

administration. However, there were no effects of BNT162b2  administration on mating 
performance, fertility, or any ovarian or uterine parameters in the F0  female rats nor on 
embryo -fetal or postnatal survival, growth, or development in the F1  offsp ring.  An immune 
response was confirmed in F0 female rats following administration of each vaccine candidate 
and these responses were also detectable in the F1 offspring (fetuses and pups).  
In summary, the nonclinical safety findings related to BNT162b2  administration primarily 
represent an expected immune reaction to vaccine administration and are clinically 
manageable or acceptable risks in the intended population.  The key safety findings regarding 
BNT162b2  from nonclinical studies and their relevance to  human usage are presented in  
Table  2.  There was no evidence of vaccine -elicited disease enhancement.  
Table  2. Key Safety Findings and Relevance to Human Usage  
Key Safety findings from Nonclinical Studiesa Relevance to Human Usage  
Pharmacology   
NHP Challenge Model  
• No evidence of vaccine -elicited disease 
enhancement.   
• Suggests low risk of vaccine -enhanced disease 
in humans; being investigated in CTs.  
Toxicity   
Injection site reactions:  
• Injection site reactions were common and 
reversible or showed signs of reversibility at the 
end of the 3 -week recovery period in nonclinical 
studies.   
• In common with other vaccines, BNT162b2  
administration has the potential to generate 
injection site reac tions such as edema and 
erythema at the injection sites.  
Inflammation and immune activation:  
• Evidence of inflammation or immune activation 
was common, reversible, and included transiently 
higher body temperature, higher circulating 
WBCs, and higher acute phase reactants.  
Secondarily, transiently lower body weights, 
reticulocytes, platelets, and RBC mass parameters 
were observed.   
• In common with all vaccines, BNT162b2  
administration has the potential to generate 
inflammation which can lead to increased 
body temperature, higher circulating WBCs 
and higher acute phase proteins.  
• Decreased reticulocytes have not been 
observed in humans treated with the 
LNP -siRNA pharmaceut ical Onpattro4, 
suggesting this finding in rats is a species -
specific effect.  
• BNT162b2  administration has the potential to 
transiently decrease p latelets and RBC mass 
parameters. These slight decreases are not 
likely to be clinically meaningful due to their 
small magnitude.  
Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity  
• No vaccine -related effects on female fertility or the 
development of fetuses or offspring were observed 
in a DART study of BNT162b2  in rats.   
• No effects are anticipated in WOCBP, 
pregnant women or their offspring.  
a. Safety pharmacology, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity studies were not conducted, in accordance with 
2005 WHO vaccine guideline, as they are generally not considered necessary to support dev elopment and 
licensure of vaccines for infectious diseases.3  In addition, the components of the vaccine construct are lipids 
and RNA and are not expected to have carcinogenic or genotoxic potential.

2.1.2.a.  Limitations of the Human Safety Database  
The pivotal study was initially planned to enroll approximately 30,000 participants, which 
would have a probability of 78% of detecting an AE with a frequency of 0.01% (1/1000) and 
a probability of 95% of detecting an AE with a frequency of 0.02% (1/500).   The protocol 
was amended to enroll approximately 46,000  participants, which would slightly enhance the 
ability to detect AEs.  However, rarer events might not be detected.  
Participants in the pivotal study were initially planned to be followed for up to 24 months in 
order to assess the potential for late -occurring adverse reactions, such as the theoretical risk 
of VAED.  After completing the final efficacy analysis with vaccine efficacy shown to be 
95%, and obtaining regulatory authorization to vaccinate in many countries, 
Pfizer -BioNTech started to unblind all participants to determine those randomized to placebo 
so that they could be offered vaccine in accordance with local authorizatio n.  To date, most 
placebo subjects have been unblinded to receive active vaccine at or prior to 6 months after 
the second dose, therefore, a placebo group for comparison of safety data is only available 
for up to 6 months post Dose 2.  
2.1.2.a.1.  Clinical Trial Exposu re 
Brief Overview of Development  
Study BNT162 -01 
BioNTech is conduct ing a first -in-human dose level –finding Phase 1/2 study  (BNT162 01) in 
Germany to gather safety and immunogenicity data to enable evaluation of 4 vaccines 
candidates individually to inform the overall clinical development of a BNT162b2 . 
BNT162 -01 is not conducted under the US IND application but is being conducted under a 
German Clin ical Trial Application.  
Four vaccine candidates were evaluated in Study BNT162 -01.  Based on safety and 
immunogenicity results from this study, 2 vaccine candidates, BNT162b1 and BNT162b2, 
were selected for evaluation in Study C4591001, which is a Phase 1 /2/3 randomized, 
placebo -controlled, observer -blind, dose -finding, vaccine candidate -selection, and efficacy 
study in healthy adults (conducted under IND 019736).  
Phase 1 of Study C4591001  
➢ Phase 1:  comprised dose -level –finding evaluations of the 2 selected  vaccine candidates; 
multiple dose levels (some corresponding to those evaluated in Study  BNT162 -01) were 
evaluated.  Study vaccine was administered using the same 2 -dose schedule as in Study 
BNT162 -01 (21 days apart).  Dose levels were administered first to an 18 - to 55 -year age 
cohort, then to a 65 - to 85 -year age cohort.

 Both vaccine candidate constructs  were safe and well tolerated.  BNT162b2  at the 30-µg 
dose level was selected and advanced to the Phase 2/3 expanded cohort and efficacy 
evaluation prima rily because:  
• the reactogenicity profile for BNT162b2  was more favorable than BNT162b1 in both 
younger and older adults with similar immunogenicity results;  
• in the NHP challenge study (VR -VTR -10671 , see Section 2.1.1 Section 2.1.1 ), a trend 
toward earlier clearance of BNT162b2  was observed in the nose.  
➢ Phase 2 of the study  (for which  (enrollment  has completed)  comprised the evaluation of 
safety and immunogenicity data for the first 360 participants  (180 from the active vaccine 
group and 180 from  the placebo group , with each group divided between the younger and 
older age cohorts)  enteri ng the study after completion of Phase 1.  
➢ The Phase 3 part of the study (which is ongoing)  evaluates the  efficacy and safety in all 
participants  (including the first 360 participants from Phase 2).   Phase 3 introduced : 
• enrol lment of  participants  16 to 17 y ears of age  to be evaluated with the 18 - to 55 -
year-old cohort,  
• enrollment of a 12- to 15-year-old coh ort,  
• immunogenicity data from  the 12- to 15-year-old cohort ( 
Table  3. Exposure to BNT162b2 by Age Group and Dose (C4591001) – Blinded 
Placebo -Controlled Follow -up Period  
• , Table  5, Table  11, Table  13, Table  15, and Table  17), anticipated to  bridge  to the  16- 
to 25-year-old cohort.  
• Booster groups were subsequently added to evaluate boostability and protection 
against variant virus strains.  
Participants in the pivotal study were initially  planned to be followed for up to 24 months in 
order to assess  the potential for late -occurring adverse reactions, such as the theoretical r isk 
of VAED  including VAERD . After completing the final efficacy analysis with vaccine 
efficacy shown to be 95% and  obtaining regulatory authori zation to vaccinate in many 
countries, Pfizer -BioNTech started to unblind all participants to determine those pa rticipants 
randomised to placebo so that they could be offered vaccine in accordance with local 
authori zation.  To date, most placebo subjects have been unblinded to receive active vaccine 
at or prior to 6  months after the second dose, therefore, a placebo  group for comparison of 
safety data is only available for up to 6 months post Dose 2.  
The initial efficacy analysis on the 16 years and older population was event -driven, with 
prespecified interim analyses after accrual of at least 62, 92, and 120 cases and a final 
analysis at 164 cases.

 2.1.2.a.2.  Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria  
Detailed descriptions of  all inclusion and exclusion criteria for clinical studies are provided 
in the individual CSRs which were filed to IND 019736 . 
Inclusion criteria  
• Healthy participants who are determined by medical history, physical examination 
(if required), and clinical judgm ent of the investigator to be eligible for inclusion in the 
study.  
• Healthy participants with pre -existing stable disease, defined as disease not requiring 
significant change in therapy or hospitalization for worsening disease during the 6 weeks 
before enr ollment, can be included.  In order for the overall Phase 3 study population to 
be as representative and diverse as possible, the inclusion of participants  with known 
chronic stable infection with HIV, HCV, or HBV was permitted  as the study progressed .  
Specific criteria for these Phase 3 participants can be found in the C4591001 protocol, 
Section 10. 8. 
• Phase 2/3 only : Participants who, in the judgment of the investigator, are at higher risk 
for acquiring COVID -19 (including, bu t not limited to, use of mass transportation, 
relevant demographics, front -line essential workers , and others).  
• The participants enrolled were 12 years of age and older; the 12 - to 15 -year-old cohort 
was included in the protocol in October 2020.   
Exclusio n criteria  
Phase 1 exclusion criteria were stricter than criteria in Phases 2 and 3 of the study.  
Participants were excluded from the studies according to the general criteria listed below : 
• Previous vaccination with any coronavirus vaccine  
Reason for exclusion : To avoid confounding  the assessment of serological or clinic al 
immune response in the study population.  
Is it considered to be included as missing information ? No . 
Rationale : Minimal potential clinical impact on the target population . 
• Previous c linical or microbiological diagnosis of COVID -19 
Reason for exclusion : Phase 1 excluded participants  with a previous clinical or 
microbiological diagnosis of COVID -19 because these participants may have some 
degree of protection  from subsequent infection by SARS -CoV -2 and therefore would 
confound  the pivotal efficacy endpoint.  During  Phase 2/3, participants with prior 
undiagnosed infecti on were  allowed to be enrolled.  Screening for SAR S-CoV -2 with 
nucleic acid amplificat ion test by nasal swab or antibodies to non -vaccine SARS -CoV -2

 antigen by serology was not conducted before vaccine administration in Phase 2/3, but 
samples  were  taken to run these assays after vaccination, thus identifying participants 
with unidentified  prior in fection.  This group will be assessed to identify whether prior 
infection affect s safety . 
Is it considered to be included as missing information? No. 
Rationale : Safety in study participants with prior infection will be assessed in the pivotal 
study . 
• Immunocompromised individuals with known or suspected immunodeficiency, as 
determined by history and/or laboratory/physical examination . 
Reason for exclusion : Immunocompromised participants may have impaired immune 
responses to vaccines and would therefore  limit the ability to demonstrate efficacy, 
which is the primary pivotal endpoint.  
Is it considered to be included as missing information ? No. 
Rationale : Participants  with potential immunodeficient status  were not specifically 
included in the study population.  However, since  the study population is intended to be 
as representative as possible of the vulnerable population to COVID -19 illness , 
sub-analyses of immunogenicity data in future studies may provide further understanding  
of immune responses  in this population . 
• Receipt of blood/plasma products or immunoglobulin, from 60 days before study 
intervention administration or planned receipt throughout the study  
Reason for exclusion : To avoid confounding the assessment of serologi cal or clinical 
immune response in the study population.  
Is it considered to be included as missing information ? No. 
Rationale : No impact on the safety of the target population.  
• Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding  
Reason for exclusion : To avoid use in a vulnerable population . 
Is it considered to be included as missing information? Yes. 
Rationale : It is not known if maternal Maternal  vaccination with BNT162b2  would 
have COVID -19 mRNA vaccine is being studies in C4591015 to explore  unexpected 
negative co nsequences to the embryo or fetus foetus .

 • Other medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or 
active suicidal ideation/behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the 
risk of study participation or, in the investigator’s judgment, make the participant 
inappropriate for the study  
Reason for exclusion : To avoid misleading results deriving from non -compliance to 
study procedures . 
Is it considered to be included as missing information ? No . 
Rationale : Safety prof ile of BNT162b2  is not expected to differ in these subjects when 
properly administered.  
2.1.2.a.2.1.  Non-Study Post -Authori zation Exposure  
Cumulatively, through 18 June 30 September  2021, approximately 774,478,4401,709,812,866  
doses of BNT162 b2 were shipped worldwide, corresponding to 642,817,105 approximately 
1,402,241,841  estimated administered doses.  
The worldwide number of shipped doses may serve as a reasonable indicator of subject 
exposure, considering that approximately 8382% of the shippe d doses were administered.  
Cumulative worldwide estimated exposure3 by dose, and region based on or extrapolated 
from internal data (number of shipped doses) and published data (number of doses 
administered) is displayed in Table  27.

Risk factors and risk 
groups  Post-authorization reports have been received for more males than females, over a 
wide age range and following dose 1 and dose 2 of the vaccine.  Evaluation by the 
US CDC has found reports to be most frequent in adolescent and young adult male 
patients following the second dose of vaccine.  
Preventability  Due to an unknown MOA, preventative measures are not clear for individuals with 
or without a personal history of myocarditis or pericarditis.  
Impact on the risk -
benefit balance of the 
biologic product  The vaccine continues to have a favorable risk benefit balance  
Public health impact  Considering the low rates of myocarditis and pericarditis reported following 
vaccination, balanced with the risk of death and illness (including myocarditis)  
caused by SARS -CoV -2, the public health impact of post -vaccination myocarditis 
and pericarditis is minimal.  
a. Please note that CT dataset from the safety database includes only cases rep orting SAEs.  
b. Search criteria: the following PTs  were used to retrieve cases of Myocarditis and Pericarditis: 
Autoimmune myocarditis; Eosinophilic myocarditis; Giant cell myocarditis; Hypersensitivity myocarditis; 
Immune -mediated myocarditis; Myocarditis; Autoimmune pericarditis, Pericarditis; Pericardi tis adhesive; 
Pericarditis constrictive; Pleuropericarditis.  
 
Table  35. Anaphylaxis   
Potential 
mechanisms, 
evidence source and 
strength of evidence  Interaction of an allergen with IgE  on basophils and mast cells triggers release of 
histamine, leukotrienes and other mediators that cause diffuse smooth muscle 
contraction and vasodilation with plasma leakage. This can manifest clinically with 
dyspnea, hypotension, swelling (sometimes lead ing to airway compromise), and 
rash (including hives).

 Table  35. Anaphylaxis   
Conclusion: Evaluation of Anaphylactic reaction/shock, Anaphylactoid 
reaction/shock cases through 18 Jun 30 September  2021 did not reveal any 
significant new safety information. Anaphylaxis is appropriately described in the 
product labeling as are non -anaph ylactic hypersensitivity events. Surveillance will 
continue.  
Risk factors and risk 
groups  Known hypersensitivity to any components of the vaccine.  
Preventability  Prevention of anaphylaxis may not be possible, particularly with the 1st dose of a 
vaccine; therefore, healthcare professionals administering the vaccine must be 
vigilant for early signs and symptoms.  
Impact on the risk -
benefit balance of the 
biologic product  Anaphylactic reaction in an individual can be impactful (medically important) 
because it is a potentially life -threatening event requiring medical intervention.  
Public health impact  Minimal due to rarity of the event.  Although the potential clinical consequences of 
an anaphylactic reaction are severe, this is a known ri sk of vaccines to healthcare 
professionals with negligible public health impact.  
a. Please note that CT dataset from the safety database includes only cases reporting SAEs.

Important Potential Risks  
 
Table  36. Vaccine -Associated Enhanced Disease (VAED), including Vaccine -
Associated Enhanced Respiratory Disease (VAERD)  
Potential 
mechanisms, 
evidence source 
and strength of 
evidence  This potential risk is theoretical because it has not been described in association with 
the BNT162b2  or it has not been reported from any other late phase clinical trial of 
other human vaccine.  Animal models of SARS -CoV -2 infection have not shown 
evidence of VAED after immunization, whereas cellular immunopathology has been 
demonstrated after viral challenge in some animal models administered SARS -CoV -1 
(murine, ferret and non -human primate models) or MERS -CoV (mice m odel) 
vaccines .1,6  This potential risk has been included based on these animal data with 
these related betacoronaviruses.  Historically, diseas e enhancement in vaccinated 
children following infection with natural virus has been observed with an inactivated 
respiratory syncytial virus vaccine.7 
Potential mechanisms of enhanced disease may include both T cell -mediated [an 
immunopathological respon se favoring T helper cell type 2 (T H2) over T helper cell 
type 1 (T H1)] and antibody -mediated activity (antibody responses with insufficient 
neutralizing activity leading to formation of immune complexes and activation of 
complement or allowing for Fc -medi ated increase in viral entry to cells).8

If VAED/VAERD  were to occur in vaccinated individuals, it may manifest as a 
modified and/or more severe clinical presentation of SARS -CoV -2 viral infection 
upon subsequent natural infection.  This may result in individuals assumed to be at 
lower risk for severe COVID -19 having more severe disease, for individuals at known 
risk for severe COVID -19 (e.g. older or immunocompromised) having higher rates of 
fatal outcomes, or for observation of an unfavorable imbalance in severe COVID -19 
cases in vaccinated individuals when compared to those not vaccinated.  It is 
challenging to assess for VAED/VAERD on an individual case basis, given the lack of 
specific clinical or laboratory markers at this time, rather surveillance for this 
theoretical risk is best performed at a populati on level,9 as noted above.  The table 
above shows a favorable balance of severe COVID -19 cases in participants receiving 
BNT162b2  versus those receiving placebo, providing reassurance against the potential 
risk of VAED/VAERD at this time.  
 
Data from the C T dataseta:  (cut-off date 18 June 2021) :  
There were no cases indicative of VAED/VAERD as SAEs in the CT dataset through 
the DLP of 1 8 June 2021 .a. 
Data from the safety database (cut-off date 18 June 2021)  
No post-authorized AE reports have been identified as cases of VAED/VAERD, 
therefore, t here is no observed d ata at this time.  An expected rate of VAED is 
difficult to establish so a meaningful observed/expected analysis cannot be conducted 
at this point base d on available data. The feasibility of conducting such an analysis 
will be re -evaluated on an ongoing basis as data on the virus grows and the vaccine 
safety data continues to accrue.

one or both doses of the vaccine; 288 of the 425 cases were severe, resulting in 
hospitalization, disability, life thr eatening consequences or death. None of the 288 
cases could be definitively considered as VAED/VAERD.  
 
In this review of subjects with COVID -19 following vaccination, based on the current 
evidence, VAED/VAERVAED remains a theoretical risk for the vaccine.  
Surveillance will continue.

 Table  36. Vaccine -Associated Enhanced Disease (VAED), including Vaccine -
Associated Enhanced Respiratory Disease (VAERD)  
In this review of subjects with COVID -19 following vaccination, based on the current 
evidence, VAED/VAERD remains a theoretical risk for the vaccine. Su rveillance will 
continue.  
Risk factors and 
risk groups  It is postulated that the potential risk may be increased in individuals producing lower 
neutralizing antibody titers or in those demonstrating waning immunity.8,9 
Preventability  An effective vaccine against COVID -19 that produces high neutralizing titers and a 
TH1 predominant CD4+ T cell response and strong CD8+ T cell response, is expected 
to mitigate the risk of VAED/VAERD;1,8 that immune profile is elicited by BNT162b2  
in clinical and preclinical studies.10,11 
Impact on the 
risk-benefit 
balance of the 
biologic product  If there were an unfavorable balance in COVID -19 cases, including severe cases, in 
the pivotal clinical study between the vaccine and placebo groups, that may signal 
VAED/VAERD.  
Public health 
impact  The potential risk of VAED/VAERD could have a public health impact if large 
populations of individuals are affected.

Table 37. Use in Pregnancy and Lactation  
Evidence source:  
The safety profile of the vaccine is not known in pregnant or lactating women due to their exclusion from the 
pivotal clinical study.  There may be pregnant women who choose to be vaccinated despite the lack of safety 
data.  It will be important to follow these women  for pregnancy and birth outcomes.  The timing of 
vaccination in a pregnant woman and the subsequent immune response may have varying favorable or 
unfavorable impacts on the embryo/fetus.  The clinical consequences of SARS -CoV -2 infection to the 
woman and fetus during pregnancy is not yet fully understood and the pregnant woman’s baseline health 
status may affect both the clinical course of her pregnancy and the severity of COVID -19 disease. These 
factors and the extent to which the pregnant woman may be at  risk of exposure to SARS -CoV -2 will 
influence the benefit risk considerations for use of the vaccine.  
 
Population in need of further characterization:  
The lack of data will be is communicated in product labeling; one clinical study of the safety and 
immuno genicity of the BNT162b2  in pregnant and lactating women is ongoing (C4591015); 42 non-
interventional studies (C4591009 , and C4591011 , ) are planned and 2 non -interventi onal studies  (C4591021,

 Table  39. Use in Paediatric Individuals  <125 Years of Age§ 
Evidence source : 
BNT162b2  has not been initially studied in pediatric individuals younger than 12 years of age due to their 
exclusion from the pivotal clinical study .  
Paediatric individuals may display different reactogenicity and safety profiles compared to adults, due to 
lower body mass and differently matured immunological responses.

2.1.2.d.  Identified and Potential Interactions , Including Food -Biologic Product  and 
Drug -Biologic Product  Interactions  
As noted in the WHO Guidelines on Nonclinical Evaluation of Vaccines,3 pharmacokinetics 
testing is n ot required for final formulation.  No interaction linked to metabolism is expected 
with vaccines.   The only potential for interaction is with other vaccines administered 
concomitantly and with immunosuppressive drugs.    
Co-administration studies with BNT162b2  have not been done , therefore th ere is not 
sufficient data to understand the effect o n vaccine  effectiveness of BNT162b2  or co-
administered vaccines.  A co -administration study with seasonal influenza vaccine is 
planned.  If BNT162b2  is given at the same time as other injectable vaccine(s), the vaccine(s) 
should be administered at different injection sites.   
2.1.2.e.  Epidemiology  of Indication and Target Population  
Indication  
Active immunization against to prevent  COVID -19 disease caused by SARS -CoV -2 virus , in 
individuals  ≥ 1612 years of age and older . 
Incidence:  
The COVID -19 is caused by a novel coronavirus labeled as SARS -CoV -2.  The disease first 
emerged in December 2019, when a cluster of patients with pneumonia of unknown cause 
was recognized in Wuhan  City, Hubei Province, China .12  The number of infected cases 
rapidly increased and spread beyond China throughout the world.  On 30 January 2020, t he 
WHO declared COVID -19 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and thus a 
pandemic.13 
Estimates of SARS -CoV -2 incidence change rapidly.  WeThe MAH  obtained incidence and 
prevalence estimates using data from Worldometer, a trusted independent organization that 
collects COVID -19 data from official reports and publishes current global and 
country -specific statistics online.14 
As of 03 March 15 August  2021 , the overall number of people who had been infected with 
SARS -CoV -2 was over 115207 million worldwide,15 an increase of nearly 100 92 million in 
the 75 months since 28 July 2020 03 March 2021 .16  Table  35Table  40 shows the incidence

6,019 1,544  per 100,000: Croatia, Denmark Slovakia, Romania , and Germany Czech Republic  
reported the lowest prevalence while Belgium, France Spain, Cyprus,  and Ireland Finland  
reported the highest ( Table  40).   
In the US, the prevalence on 03 March 15 August  2021 was nearly twice as high as similar to  
the combined  EU+ UK estimates , with 2,685 1,997  active cases per 100,000.1515  The 
prevalence in the US was 653 This is a decrease of approximately 700  per 100,000 on 28 July 
2020 since 03 March 2021, when the prevalence was 2,685 per 100,000 .1616  
Demographics of the population in the proposed indication  and risk factors for the 
disease:   
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the ECDC  has continuously collected COVID -19 
information from all countries who are members of the EU/EEA  and the UK .  In the ECDC’s 
TESSy database, COVID -19 case -based data, including age and gender, are available for 
over 80% of the official number of cases repo rted by ECDC epidemic intelligence,19 enabling 
estimates of age and gender distribution representative of the European population.  TESSy 
data on age and sex distributions by severity of symptoms as posted on 04 March 12 August  
2021 are shown in Figure  1.20 
The top half of the figure represents data ending on 31 July 2020 and the bottom half 
presents data from  01 August 2020 to 04 March 08 August  2021 (Figure  1). In general, the 
age-sex patterns before 01  August 2020 have remained the same since then.  The gender 
distribution of persons testing positive  for SARS -CoV-2 in the European population is 
similar for most age groups.  Cases reported in TESSy have been older than the general 
population throughout the pandemic , with few cases observed in people aged younger than 
20 years.  This likely reflects the  age distribution of people who met the requirements for 
being tested and is unlikely to reflect the actual distribution of infections in the population. 
Those with severe outcomes (hospitalized, severely hospitalized , [admitted to intensive care 
and/or re quired respiratory support] , or fatal) have been disproportionately older and male 
compared to COVID -19 cases overall.  While age -sex patterns have remained consistent 
throughout the pandemic, a notable difference between the periods before and since 01 
August 2020 is that the absolute numbers of cases have increased dramatically in the latter 
period compared to the earlier one.

were not available for all US COVID cases and deaths, the numbers in Table 41 and Table 42 
are drawn, respectively, from 29,346,352 cases and 513,204 deaths.   Those under age 50 
account for 65roughly 67% of cases but less than approximately  5% of deaths.  For ages 18 -
74, males account for less than half of cases but over 60% of deaths.   Among the pediatric 
population, there is close to a 50 -50 case distribution bet ween males and females across ages 
0-17.  However, the pediatric mortality distribution is highly irregular between the sexes,

In general, d isease has been much less severe among ages 0 -24 compared to ages ≥25 years , 
with 2.5% hospitalized, 0.8% admitted to an intensive care unit, and <0.1% dying among 
ages 0 -24, versus 16.6% hospitalized, 8.6% in tensive care, and 5% dying among ages 
≥25 years .23 Among hospitalized cases with COVID -19 in the US, approximately 90% are 
over 40 years old, and between 58% to 66% are at least 60 years old.24  The majority 
(approximately 60%) of COVID -19 patients admitted to hospitals in the US have been 
male.24,25,26,27,28   
African American COVID -19 patients have been reported to have an increased risk of 
hospitalization25,29 and mortality,30 compared to white patients in the United States. A CDC 
report examined demographic trends among US COVID -19 deaths from May to August of 
2020.31  During the observation period, the percentage of US COVID -19 deaths that were 
Hispanic increased from 16.3% i n May to 26.4% in August, the only racial or ethnic group 
among whom the percentage of deaths increased during that time.  In terms of setting, 64.3% 
of deaths occurred in inpatient hospitals and 21.5% in nursing homes or long -term care 
facilities.  
As of 0 8 March 2021, the CDC estimated that The most recent CDC estimate of the total 
number of excess deaths (as opposed to overall deaths in the preceding paragraph) across the 
US from 0126 January  2020 to 27 February 2020 to the present 2021  from all causes 
(COVID -19 and otherwise) ranged from 509,890 624,307.32  A CDC report examining US 
545,600 -660,200, with an estimated 75 -88% of excess deaths being associated with race and 
age, restricted to the period 26  January 2020 to 03 October 2020, estimated that 66% of 
USCOVID -19.33  An earlier CDC report on  excess deaths covering 26 January 2020 through 
3 October 2020 broke down excess deaths by demographics33: by age  during that period  were 
attributable to COVID 19.34  By age , the largest increase in deaths compared to average 
expected deaths occurred among adults aged 25 -44 (26.5% increase).  By race, increases in 
deaths compared to expectation were largest among Hispanics (53.6% increase), Asian 
Americans (36.6% increase), African Americans (32.9% increase), and Native Americans 
and Native Alaskans (28.9% increase), all compared to an excess 11.9% deaths among non -
Hispanic whites.

 While research earl ier in the pandemic tended to focus on adults, more recent data have given 
greater attention to children and adolescents.  For the period January 1 -March 31 2021 across 
14 states (the most recently available data), the CDC’s COVID -NET database recorded 204  
adolescents aged 12 -17 who were hospitalized for likely primarily COVID -19-related 
reasons.35  The 204 adolescents were 47.5% male —consistent with the COVID case sex 
distribution across all ages —and disproportionately from minorities, with 31.4% Hispanic 
and 35.8% non -Hispanic African Americans.35 
Another recent CDC report described demographic trends in US COVID -19 incidence 
among 15,068 cases aged 0 -24 years across 16 jurisdictions during the period 01 January 
2020 through 31 December 2020.36  The report broke down incidence by age groups and 
2020 sub -periods that are presented in Table 43.  The table shows that early in 2020, 5 -9 year 
olds were experiencing less COVID -19 than 0 -4 year olds, but by the end of the year this 
pattern had reversed.  Compared to 5 -9 year olds, the age categories 10 -14, 15 -19, and 20 -24 
years old showed progressiv ely greater incidence rates, a pattern that held throughout 2020.

Other US pediatric data are generally consistent with the CDC findings.  Table  44 
summarizes demographic results for a retrospective cohort of 135,794 individuals under  the 
age of 25 who were tested for COVID -19 by 08 September 2020 within the PEDSnet 
network of US pediatric health systems.37  The Table  44 shows that, among the pediat ric 
population, children age 12 -17 were more frequently infected than those under age 12.  
African Americans and Hispanics had elevated frequencies of testing positive relative to their 
proportion of the cohort.   
A study of 1,945,831 individuals aged 0 -18 recorded in the Premier Healthcare  Database  
between March and October 2020 included 20,714 pediatric cases of COVID -19; the authors

Risk Factors  
While anyone can become infected with SARS -CoV -2, symptoms of  COVID -19 disease can 
range from very mild (or no symptoms) to severe or fatal.  A person’s risk of initial infection 
increases through spending time in close physical proximity to others, especially in indoor 
spaces with poor ventilation.39  People living  in long -term care facilities or high -density 
apartment homes, or working in occupations with close proximity to others (e.g. healthcare, 
transportation), have a higher risk of infection .33,40,. 39,41 Among children, the primary source 
of infection is an infected adult living in the same household.42 According to the CDC, 
people ages 18 29some ethnic minority groups  have the highest a higher risk of infection, but 
age is not associated with  risk of initial infection , while children age 4  among people aged 5  
and under have the lowest rate older  (Table  37).43  Risk of infection is also higher among 
some ethnic minority groups.,5Table 45).46, 47

Risk for severe or fatal COVID -19 disease has been shown to increase with older age, male

experience a milder disease course and have lower risk  of hospitalization andor 
death .46,55,56Among adults, these risks  increase dramatically for every 10 -year age group 
above age 1739 (Table  37Table 42).36,41 46, 57 Table  37Table 45 also gives estimated rate ratios

Risk of severe or fatal COVID -19 disease is higher among persons who are current or former 
smokers, have lower socioeconomic status, have no or public insurance, or live in 
neighborhoods with higher rates of limited English proficiency .38,40,41,58. 51,53,57  The CDC has 
also recognized other socio -demographic groups who may need to take extra precautions 
against COVID -19 due to increased risk for severe illness: pregnant women; breastfeeding 
mothers; people with disabilities  or developmental/behavioral disorders;  people living in 
rural communities, nursing homes, long term care facilities, or prisons; people experiencing 
homelessness ; people with  developmental , behavio ural, or substance abuse  disorders ; and 
newly resettled refugee populations.59   
RiskAmong adults, r isk for severe or fatal COVID -19 disease also increases with the 
presence of chronic medical conditions, including obesity, respiratory chronic lung  diseases 
(e.g., COPD or asthma), cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, liver disease, neurologi cal 
diseases (e.g., stroke or dementia), chronic kidney disease, sickle cell disease, autoimmune 
conditions and immunosuppression, orHIV,  higher scores on the WHO Clinical Progression 
Scale and Charlson Comorbidity Index .38,39,40,41,4252, 57, 60, 51, 53.  Table  38Table 46 shows  the 
estimated hazard ratios of COVID -19 mortality associated with these chronic conditions and 
socio -demographics from a cohort study of 17 million adults in England.41(with 17,000 
COVID -19-related deaths)  in England.57  
The presence of one or more underlying medical conditions also increases risk of severe or 
fatal disease among children aged 5 -17.61,62,63, 64 In particular, childhood obesity has been 
consistently associated with two to three times the risk of severe disease or hospitalization .61, 
64, 65, 66,. For many other individual comorbid conditions, pediatric sample sizes are very small 
and different studies produce conflicting results, so it is difficult to estimate precise risk 
ratios based on current literature.42, 63

 The main existing treatment options:  
Through  28 February 30 September  2021, other COVID -19 vaccines were authorized and 
recommended for use in the United States including vaccines from Moderna 
(NCT04470427), and Johnson & Johnson /Janssen  (NCT04505722) . Others  may 
subsequently be approved.

Symptoms of COVID -19 
The clinical manifestations of COVID -19 vary widely, from asymptomatic infection in 
17-20%,67,45% across age groups , 68, 69 70, 71 to critical illness and death. The rate of 
asymptomatic infection decreases with increasing age and long -term care facilities are 
associated with a lower rate of asymptomatic infection when compared to household 
transmission or other healthcare facilities .71 A recent meta -analysis has estimated that 46.7% 
of infections in children are  asymptomatic.71 The most common symptoms of COVID -19 are 
fever, cough, and shortness of breath (Table  39).72 for both children and adults ( Table  47).73, 
74 .

 Progression and Timeline of Mild to Moderate Disease  
Mild to moderate disease is defined as the absence of viral pneumonia and hypoxia. For those 
who develop symptoms, the incubation pe riod is usually 4 to 5 days, with 97.5% 
experiencing symptoms within 11 days of exposure.75,76 Those with mild COVID -19 recover 
at home with supportive care and guidance to self -isolate. Those with moderate disease are 
monitored at home and are sometimes recommended to be hospitalized if conditions 
worsen .48. 76  Data on rates of re -infection are limited but variants that are not neutralized by 
immune antisera, such as the recent beta ( South African ) variant, may lead to increased risk 
of re -infectio n in the future .47. 75 
Progression and Timeline of Severe Disease Requiring Hospitalization  
Those with severe disease will require hospitalization to manage their illness. Based on data 
that have been systematically  collected for the US by the CDC between 01 August 2020 and 
02 March 05 September  2021, there were 1,814,606 2,816,280  new hospital admissions for 
patients with confirmed COVID -19 in the US.77  For the week ending 28 February 22 August  
2021, 103.5 patients per 100,000 population were hospitalized hospitalised  due to COVID -19 
in 2221 countries  of the EU/EEA with available data .78 Based on data from 23 states and 
New York City, as of August 19, 2021, 1.6% -3.6%  of children with COVID -19 have been 
hospi talised and 0.0 -0.03% of children with COVID -19 have died.79   
The most common symptoms in patients are fever (42-80%), shortness of breath (35 -71%), 
fatigue (33 -62%), cough (77 -84%), chills (63%), myalgias (63%), headache (59%), and 
diarrhea (33%) .80,81,82,83  COVID -19 patients also commonly experience gustatory disorders 
(44%) and olfactory disorders (53%).84 Among unhospitalised children < 18 years of age, 
89% experienced one or more typical symptoms of COVID, including fever, cough, 
shortness of breath , and 22% experienced all three. 81Approximately 17% to 40% of those 
hospitalized hospitalised  with COVID -19 experience severe symptoms  necessitating intensive 
care.23,24,28,51 29,80 with 31% of children hospitalised experiencing severe COVID -19 that 
necessitates intensive care or invasive ventilation or ends in death. Risk factors for severe 
COVID -19 in hospitalised child ren include presence of a comorbid condition, younger age, 
and male sex .38 More than 75% of patients hospitalized hospitali sed with COVID -19 require 
supplemental - oxygen.85  
Studies early in the pandemic demonstrated that time from onset of illness to ARDS was 
8--12  -days and time from onset of illness to ICU admission was 9.5 –12 days .47. 75  In 17 
countries of the EU/EEA with available data, 1.8 patients per 100,000 population were in the 
ICU due to COVID -19 for the week ending 28 February 2021 .50.86   A recent meta -analysis 
found that, of patients <19 years of age, 11% went to the ICU, non -invasive ventilation was 
administered among 12%, and 4% required mechanical ventilation .45.  69 
Mortality  
As of 07 March 17 August  2021 , there were 522,973 620,493  deaths reported in the US for all 
age groups among 28,771,749 36,951,181  cases ( 1.87% of cases ).49).87  As of 28 February 17 
August  2021  there wer e 547,267 746,566 deaths reported for all age groups in the EU/EEA

 among 22,527,370 35,381,520 cases ( 2.41% of cases).88 As of 7 March 17 August  2021, the 
UK has seen 124,736 131,466  deaths from COVID -19 in all age groups among 
4,231,166 6,352,224  cases ( 2.91% of cases) .89  According to a recent meta -analysis of 
pediatric paediatric  studies published through October 2020, the mortality for paediatric 
patients <19is 0.1 -2%.69, 23 In a study from January through June 2020 using the National 
Child Mortality Database (NCMD) in England, 5.7% of 437 children 0 -17 years of age is 
2%.45who died were SARS -CoV -2 PCR -positive and those who died of COVID -19 were 
older and were more likely to be non -White ethnicity .90 
Mortality data are also presented from Worldometer, an independ ent 
organization organi sation  that publishes current, reliable COVID -19 statistics online.1714  The 
mortality of SARS -CoV -2 infection is defined as the cumulative number of deaths among 
detected cases.  
As of 03 March 15 August  2021, the overall SARS -CoV -2 mortality  for the EU + UK was 
677,146 878,344  deaths, or 132171 per 100,000 people.  Reported mortality among EU 
countries and the UK ranged from 1418 to 195312 deaths per 100,000 ( Table  35).Table  40). 
Finland and Cyprus reported the lowest mortality; Hungary, Czech Republic, Belgium and 
Slove niaBulgaria  reported the highest.1515  
In the US, as of 03 March 15 August  2021, the mortality was 531,652 637,439  deaths (160191 
per 100,000 people).  Mortality in the US was very similar to that of EU countries Hungary, 
Portugal, and Italy. the UK (192 per 100,000) . 15 15 
Overall reported mortality among hospitalized hospitali sed COVID -19 patients varies from 
12.8% to 26%  in the EU  and UK. 28, UK, and US .29,30,91,92 31, 93,94. Mortality rates are 
declining over time, presumably due to an improved understanding of COVID -19 and its 
management .58,95.96  
Complications of COVID -19 and Long -COVID  
Complications of COVID -19 include impaired function of the heart, brain, lung, liver, 
kidney, and coagulation system .23,25,54.  24,27, 97  Based on a meta -analysis of 42 studies, the 
risk of thromboembolism was 21% overall and 31% in the ICU, with the pooled odds of 
mortality being 74% higher among those who experienced thromboembolism compared to 
those who did not.98 
COVID -19 symptoms can  persist weeks or months beyond the acute infection.99,100  The 
NICE guideline scope published on 30 October 2020 defined “Long COVID” signs and 
symptoms that continue or develop after acute COVID‑19. It includes both ongoing 
symptomatic COVID‑19 (from 4 to  12 weeks) and post‑COVID‑19 syndrome (12 weeks or 
more and for which signs and symptoms are not explained by an alternative diagnosis).101 
A meta  analysis of 31 studies among patients between 18 to 49 years of age found that 
COVID -19 symptoms were experien ced for 14 days to 3 months post -infection, including 
persistent fatigue (39 –73%), breathlessness (39 –74%), decrease in quality of life (44 –69%), 
impaired pulmonary function, abnormal CT findings including pulmonary fibrosis (39 –83%), 
evidence of peri -/perimyo -/myocarditis (3 –26%), changes in microstructural and functional

 brain integrity with persistent neurological symptoms (55%), increased incidence of 
psychiatric diagnoses (5.8% versus 2.5 –3.4% in controls), and incomplete recovery of 
olfactory and gust atory dysfunction (33 –36%).102  Post-acute COVID symptoms in children 
with asymptomatic or mild disease appear to be less severe than in adults, with the most 
common symptoms being a post -viral cough (4%), fatigue (2%), or both symptoms (1%) 
with the durati on of symptoms lasting 3 to 8 weeks.103  
Children who are infected with COVID -19 are at risk of subsequent multisystem 
inflammatory syndrome (MIS -C) and often develop a rash following resolution of COVID -
19.104,105,45.69,106,107  As of August 19, 2021 there were 4,403 cases of MIS -C reported to 
health departments in the U S. 108 Additional symptoms of MIS -C include abdominal pain, 
bloodshot eyes, chest tightness or pain, diarrhea, lethargy, headache, low blood pressure, 
neck pain, and vomiting.109 
Important co -morbid ities:  
Important comorbidities in hospitalized COVID -19 patients include hypertension, diabetes, 
obesity, cardiovascular disease, chronic pulmonary disease or asthma, chronic kidney 
disease, cancer, and chronic liver disease .24,25,26,51,54. 25, 26, 27, 80, 83   Prevalence of these 
conditions have been reported to be lower in mild cases and higher among fatal cases, as
