1. What is Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 and what is it used for

Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 is a vaccine used to prevent COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is given to adults and adolescents from 12 years of age.

Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 is only indicated in individuals who have previously received at least one primary vaccination schedule against COVID-19.

The vaccine makes the immune system (the body's natural defenses) produce antibodies and blood cells that fight the virus, providing protection against COVID-19.

Because Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 does not contain the virus to produce immunity, it cannot give you COVID-19.

Doctor consultation

Not sure if this medicine is right for you?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before you receive Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5

Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 must not be given

  • if you are allergic to the active substance or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before you receive the vaccine if:

  • you have ever had a severe allergic reaction or breathing problems after being given any other vaccine or after you were given Comirnaty or Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 in the past;
  • you are nervous about the vaccination process or have fainted after an injection with a needle;
  • you have a severe illness or infection with a high fever. However, you can be vaccinated if you have a mild fever or an upper respiratory tract infection such as a cold;
  • you have a bleeding problem, bruise easily, or are taking a medicine to prevent blood clotting;
  • you have a weakened immune system due to a disease such as HIV or due to a medicine, such as corticosteroids, that affects the immune system.

There is an increased risk of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the outer lining of the heart) after vaccination with Comirnaty (see section 4). These conditions can occur within a few days of vaccination and have mainly occurred within 14 days. They have been observed more frequently after the second dose of vaccination and more frequently in young males. The risk of myocarditis and pericarditis appears to be lower in children between 5 and 11 years of age than in those between 12 and 17 years of age. After vaccination, you should be alert to the signs of myocarditis and pericarditis, such as difficulty breathing, palpitations, and chest pain, and should seek immediate medical attention if they occur.

As with any vaccine, Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 may not fully protect all people who receive it, and it is not known how long you will be protected.

The efficacy of Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 may be lower in immunocompromised individuals. In these cases, you should continue to maintain physical precautions to help prevent COVID-19. Additionally, your close contacts should be vaccinated as appropriate. Discuss individual recommendations with your doctor.

Children

Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 (15/15 micrograms)/dispersion for injection is not recommended for use in children under 12 years of age.

A pediatric presentation is available for children between 5 and 11 years of age. For more information, see the package leaflet for Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 (5/5 micrograms)/concentrate for dispersion for injection.

Other medicines and Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or might use any other medicine or have recently received any other vaccine.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant, tell your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist before you receive this vaccine.

There are no available data on the use of Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 during pregnancy. However, a large amount of information on pregnant women vaccinated with the initially approved Comirnaty vaccine during the second and third trimesters has not shown negative effects on pregnancy or on the newborn. Although information on the effects on pregnancy or the newborn after vaccination during the first trimester is limited, no change in the risk of spontaneous abortion has been observed. Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 can be used during pregnancy.

There are no available data on the use of Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 during breastfeeding. However, no effects on the newborn/infant are expected. Data on women who were breastfeeding after vaccination with the initially approved Comirnaty vaccine have not shown a risk of adverse effects in breastfed children. Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 can be used during breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines

Some of the effects of vaccination mentioned in section 4 (Possible side effects) may temporarily affect your ability to drive or use machines. Wait until these effects have gone before you drive or use machines.

3. How Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 is given
