This medicine is subject to additional monitoring, which will facilitate the detection of new information about its safety. You can contribute by reporting any adverse effects your child may experience. The final part of section 4 includes information on how to report these adverse effects.
Read this product information carefully before your child receives this vaccine, as it contains important information for your child.
Comirnaty JN.1 is a vaccine used to prevent COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2.
Comirnaty JN.1 3 microgram/dose concentrated for injection is administered to infants and children between 6 months and 4 years of age.
The vaccine causes the immune system (the body's natural defenses) to produce antibodies and blood cells that fight the virus, thereby providing protection against COVID-19.
Because Comirnaty JN.1 does not contain the virus to produce immunity, it cannot cause COVID-19 in your child.
This vaccine must be used in accordance with official recommendations.
Comirnaty JN.1 should not be administered
Warnings and precautions
Consult with your child's doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before your child receives the vaccine if your child:
There is a higher risk of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the outer layer of the heart) after vaccination with Comirnaty (see section 4). These conditions may appear a few days after vaccination and have occurred mainly 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 aged 5 to 11 years than in those aged 12 to 17 years. Most cases of myocarditis and pericarditis recover. Some cases required intensive care support and fatal cases have been observed. After vaccination, be alert to signs of myocarditis and pericarditis, such as difficulty breathing, palpitations, and chest pain, and seek immediate medical attention if they appear.
Like any vaccine, Comirnaty JN.1 may not protect all people who receive it completely, and it is not known how long your child will be protected.
The efficacy of Comirnaty may be lower in immunocompromised individuals. If your child is immunocompromised, they may receive additional doses of Comirnaty. In these cases, your child should continue to follow physical precautions to help prevent COVID-19. Additionally, your child's close contacts should be vaccinated as appropriate. Discuss individual recommendations with your child's doctor.
