Shots:
- The companies have shared additional P-I safety and immunogenicity data from their ongoing US study of the BNT162b2 against SARS-CoV-2- which has advanced into P-II/III evaluation. Across all populations- BNT162b2 was well tolerated with mild to moderate fever in fewer than 20% of the participants

- The companies anticipate commencing the global (Ex- China) P-II/III study of BNT162b2 in up to 30-000 participants that started in Jul’2020- which has to date enrolled 11-000+ patients including in areas with significant SARS-CoV-2 transmission
