The document summarizes findings from a phase 3 clinical trial of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Key findings include:
- The vaccine was well tolerated and had an efficacy of 95% against symptomatic COVID-19 among participants without prior infection. Efficacy was consistent across age, gender, race and ethnicity subgroups.
- The most common side effects were pain at injection site, fatigue, headache, and fever, predominantly mild or moderate in severity and lasting 1-2 days.
- The vaccine elicited higher antibody levels than convalescent sera and showed similar efficacy against the UK and South African variants.

• BNT162b2 is a lipid nanoparticle– formulated nucleoside-modified RNA
encoding the SARS-CoV-2 full-length spike protein, modified by two proline
mutations to lock the protein in the prefusion conformation.

20. Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine
Additional notes
Source: Polack FP, et al. N Engl J Med. 2020;383:2603-15.
• The cumulative incidence of Covid-19 cases over time among placebo and vaccine recipients begins to
diverge by 12 days after the first dose, 7 days after the estimated median viral incubation period of 5 days
• In the interval between the first and second doses, the observed vaccine efficacy against Covid-19 was
52%
- Some protection occurs as soon as 12 days after first dose
• Of the 10 cases of severe Covid-19 disease, only 1 was in vaccine group
- Provides preliminary evidence of vaccine-mediated protection against severe disease
- Provides preliminary evidence to alleviate concerns over vaccine-mediated disease enhancement
21. Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine
Study Limitations
Source: Polack FP, et al. N Engl J Med. 2020;383:2603-15.
• Median follow-up time of 2 months after the second dose limits probability of detecting
less common adverse events reliably
• Assessment of long-term vaccine safety and efficacy cannot be conducted in the context
of maintaining a placebo group for the planned follow-up period of 2 years after the
second dose
• Study did not address whether vaccine prevents:
- Asymptomatic Covid-19 infection
- Covid-19 in younger adolescents, children, pregnant women, and
immunocompromised individuals
22. Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine
Authors’ Conclusions
Source: Polack FP, et al. N Engl J Med. 2020;383:2603-15.
Conclusions: “A two-dose regimen of BNT162b2 conferred 95%
protection against Covid-19 in persons 16 years of age or older.
Safety over a median of 2 months was similar to that of other viral
vaccines.”

defined by a positive RT-PCR test or a positive binding antibody against SARS-CoV-2 at day 1.

46. Efficacy and Safety of the mRNA-1273 SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine: Additional notes
Source: Baden LR, et al. N Engl J Med. 2020 Dec 30. DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2035389
• Fewer occurrences of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection were noted after a singe dose of mRNA-1273,
though the trial was not designed to evaluate the efficacy of a single dose
• The magnitude of mRNA-1273 vaccine efficacy at preventing symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection is higher
than the efficacy observed for vaccines for respiratory viruses (e.g. 59% efficacy seen for inactivated
influenza vaccine)
• No evidence in the short term of enhanced respiratory disease after infection
47. Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine: Limitations
Source: Baden LR, et al. N Engl J Med. 2020 Dec 30. DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2035389
• Short duration of safety and efficacy follow-up
• Lack of an identified correlate of protection
• Insufficient data to assess the incidence of asymptomatic or subclinical infection and viral shedding after
infection
• Pregnant women and children were excluded from this trial
48. Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine: Authors’ Conclusions
Source: Baden LR, et al. N Engl J Med. 2020 Dec 30. DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2035389
Conclusions: “The mRNA-1273 vaccine showed 94.1% efficacy at
preventing Covid-19 illness, including severe disease. Aside from
transient local and systemic reactions, no safety concerns were
identified.”
