Pfizer and BioNTech announced that their Omicron BA.1-adapted bivalent COVID-19 vaccine, combining mRNA for wild-type and Omicron BA.1 spike proteins, has received a positive recommendation for conditional marketing authorization by the EMA's CHMP. The booster dose (30 µg) has shown a favorable safety profile and improved immune response in clinical trials. The vaccine is poised for immediate shipment to support European vaccination campaigns. Additionally, an application for an Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted vaccine is under review.

Pfizer and BioNTech announced that the CHMP has recommended conditional marketing authorization for their Omicron BA.1-adapted bivalent COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 12 years and older. This 30-µg booster dose combines mRNA from the original vaccine and mRNA for the Omicron BA.1 variant. The vaccine demonstrated improved immunogenicity, showing a 9-fold increase in neutralizing titers against the Omicron strain compared to the original vaccine. If approved, doses will be available to EU member states within days, supporting upcoming vaccination campaigns.

Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and BioNTech SE (Nasdaq: BNTX) received FDA Emergency Use Authorization for a 30-µg booster dose of their Omicron BA.4/BA.5 Bivalent Vaccine, combining mRNA for the original virus and Omicron BA.4/BA.5 subvariants. This booster is authorized for individuals aged 12 and older. The companies are also preparing applications for younger age groups. Clinical data showcase a strong immune response against multiple subvariants, reinforcing the vaccine's efficacy. Shipping will begin immediately under existing agreements with the U.S. government.

Pfizer and BioNTech announced FDA Emergency Use Authorization for their Omicron BA.4/BA.5 bivalent COVID-19 vaccine, which combines 15-µg of mRNA from the original virus and 15-µg from the Omicron variants, targeting individuals aged 12 and older. This vaccine aims to enhance immunity against prevalent COVID-19 strains, with shipping starting immediately. The companies have plans for additional submissions to regulatory authorities for younger age groups. Previous clinical data indicates a strong immune response to Omicron variants, reinforcing the efficacy of mRNA technology in vaccine development.

Pfizer and BioNTech announced the submission of a booster dose application for an Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent COVID-19 vaccine to the European Medicines Agency (EMA). This submission follows their earlier application for the Omicron BA.1-adapted vaccine. The booster targets individuals 12 years and older, generating a strong neutralizing antibody response per pre-clinical data. Regulatory approvals are expected shortly, with availability as early as September, pending authorization. The companies also submitted a request for Emergency Use Authorization to the FDA on August 22.

Pfizer and BioNTech have submitted an application to the European Medicines Agency for a booster dose of an Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent COVID-19 vaccine for individuals aged 12 and older. This follows the earlier submission for an Omicron BA.1-adapted vaccine in July. If authorized, both vaccines could be available in the EU as early as September. The bivalent vaccine aims to enhance neutralizing antibody responses against multiple variants, including the original strain and Omicron subvariants.

Pfizer and BioNTech have updated the efficacy results of their COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 6 months to 4 years, reporting a vaccine efficacy of 73.2% based on 34 cases observed more than seven days post-vaccination. Efficacy was confirmed across variants, primarily Omicron BA.2, with favorable safety profiles. The data supports the ongoing review for Emergency Use Authorization by the FDA and a conditional Marketing Authorization by the EMA, alongside plans for an adapted vaccine targeting emerging Omicron strains.

Pfizer and BioNTech announced that their COVID-19 vaccine shows 73.2% efficacy for children aged 6 months to 4 years following a three-dose regimen. Efficacy remained above 70% across younger age groups. The trial involved over 10,000 children and confirmed the vaccine's effectiveness against the Omicron BA.2 variant. The FDA granted Emergency Use Authorization in June, and applications for further approvals are in process. The companies plan to submit new efficacy data soon and are also developing a bivalent vaccine targeting Omicron BA.4/BA.5.
