This is a Phase 3, randomized, observer-blind study in healthy individuals.
The primary study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA vaccine candidate (BNT162b2):

- As a 20-microgram dose, administered from 1 of the manufacturing lots
- As a 2-dose (separated by 21 days) schedule
- In people 12 through 50 years of age
The booster study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 2 SARS-CoV-2 RNA vaccine candidates (BNT162b2 and BNT162b2.B.1.351):
- Each as a 30-microgram dose
- Each as a 1-dose booster vaccine, administered approximately 3 months after Dose 2
