• The study will be conducted in the United States, Brazil and South Africa

Substudy B: The study will assess the safety and tolerability of a single dose of BNT162b2 as compared to placebo control, through the potential analysis of serum troponin levels, in participants ≥12 and ≤30 years of age who have received 2 or 3 prior doses of BNT162b2 (30-µg doses) with their last dose at least 4 months (120 days) prior to randomization.

• Blood samples will be collected for troponin testing
• The duration of the study for each participant will be up to approximately 2 months.
• The study will be conducted in the United States, Germany, Poland and South Africa
