SSA: Percentage of Participants With Local Reactions up to 7 Days Following Vaccination (18-64 Years)
SSA: From Day 1 to Day 7 after Vaccination

Local reactions included pain at the injection site, redness and swelling and were recorded by participants in an electronic diary. Redness and swelling were measured and recorded in measuring device units, where 1 measuring device unit=0.5 centimeter (cm). Redness and swelling were graded as mild (Grade 1): greater than (\>) 2.0 cm to 5.0 cm; moderate (Grade 2): \>5.0 cm to 10.0 cm; severe (Grade 3): \>10 cm; potentially life-threatening (Grade 4): necrosis or exfoliative dermatitis (redness) and necrosis (swelling). Pain at injection site was graded as mild (Grade 1): did not interfere with activity; moderate (Grade 2): interfered with activity; severe (Grade 3): prevented daily activity and potentially life-threatening (Grade 4): emergency room visit or hospitalization for severe pain.

Frequently asked questions about bivalent BNT162b2

What is bivalent BNT162b2 used for?

Bivalent BNT162b2 is an investigational modified RNA vaccine candidate being studied for the prevention of influenza and COVID-19. It is designed to target both diseases in a single vaccine. The drug is currently in Phase 2 clinical development and is not yet approved for use.

Who makes bivalent BNT162b2?

Bivalent BNT162b2 is being developed by BioNTech SE, a biotechnology company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol BNTX. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of this vaccine candidate.

What phase is bivalent BNT162b2 in?

Bivalent BNT162b2 is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational vaccine candidate and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 2 trial has been completed, with results expected to inform further development.

What clinical trials is bivalent BNT162b2 in?

Bivalent BNT162b2 has been studied in one completed Phase 2 clinical trial, identified as NCT05596734. This trial evaluated the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of combined modified RNA vaccine candidates against COVID-19 and influenza in 1,019 healthy adult participants in the United States.

Is bivalent BNT162b2 the same as a COVID-19 vaccine?

Bivalent BNT162b2 is a modified RNA vaccine candidate that combines antigens for both COVID-19 and influenza. It is distinct from a standalone COVID-19 vaccine, as it is designed to provide protection against two diseases simultaneously. The drug is still in clinical development.
