Overview

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of an updated vaccine against COVID-19.

This study is seeking participants 18 through 64 years of age who are considered to be at higher risk for severe COVID-19 disease per study protocol and those 65 years of age and older. All participants in this study will receive 1 shot to their arm of a BNT162b2 (Omi LP.8.1) 30 µg RNA-based vaccine which targets a circulating variant of SARS-CoV-2 and is selected for the 2025-2026 COVID-19 respiratory virus season. This study is about 6 months for each participant, and participants will need to visit the clinical study site at least 4 times.

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria:

  • Participants 18 years of age or older.
  • Participants who have received a COVID-19 vaccine containing Omicron KP.2 >6 months (>175 days) prior to enrollment in the study and have not received any other COVID-19 vaccine or had physician-confirmed COVID-19 disease since this vaccination through to enrollment in the study.
  • Participants 18 through 64 years of age should have at least 1 underlying medical condition that increases their risk of severe COVID-19. The following list of conditions have been developed utilizing conditions listed by the CDC and are deemed to increase the risk of developing severe COVID-19 disease in infected participants:
    • Asthma
    • Diabetes mellitus type I
    • Diabetes mellitus type II
    • Heart conditions (eg. previous coronary artery disease or heart failure but excluding cardiomyopathy, myocarditis and pericarditis)
    • HIV
    • Mental health conditions limited to mood disorders, including depression.
    • Parkinson disease
    • Obesity (BMI ≥30)
    • Smoking, current or former The medical conditions mentioned above must have remained stable for at least 6 weeks prior to enrollment.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of severe adverse reaction associated with a vaccine and/or severe allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) to any component of the study intervention(s).
  • History of myocarditis or pericarditis.
