PF-07302048 (BNT162 RNA-Based COVID-19 Vaccines)
                   Protocol C4591001


                   In the event that sponsor personnel confirm that a stopping rule is met, the following actions
                   will commence:


                       •  The IRC will review all appropriate data.

                       •  The stopping rule will PAUSE randomization and study intervention administration
                          for the impacted vaccine candidate all dose levels and age groups.

                       •  The DMC will review all appropriate data.

                       •  For all participants vaccinated, all other routine study conduct activities, including
                          ongoing data entry, reporting of AEs, participant reactogenicity e-diary completion,
                          blood sample collection, and participant follow-up, will continue during the pause.

                   A stopping rule is met if any of the following rules occur after administration of
                   investigational BNT162 vaccine; data from placebo recipients will not contribute to the
                   stopping rules.  Reactogenicity e-diary data confirmed by the investigator as being entered by
                   the participant in error will not contribute toward a stopping rule.

                   The BNT162b RNA platform will be evaluated for contribution to stopping rules overall;
                   vaccine candidate dose levels within the platform and age groups will contribute to stopping
                   rules together.  However, it is possible that the recommendations may include halting or
                   continuing randomization with any of the BNT162 vaccine candidates.

                   Stopping Rule Criteria for Each BNT162 Vaccine Candidate:

                   1.  If any participant vaccinated with the BNT162 candidate (at any dose level) develops an
                       SAE that is assessed by the investigator as possibly related, or for which there is no
                       alternative, plausible, attributable cause.


                   2.  If any participant vaccinated with the BNT162 candidate (at any dose level) develops a
                       Grade 4 local reaction or systemic event after vaccination (see Section 8.2.2) that is
                       assessed as possibly related by the investigator, or for which there is no alternative,
                       plausible, attributable cause.

                   3.  If any participant vaccinated with the BNT162 candidate (at any dose level) develops a
                       fever >40.0°C (>104.0°F) for at least 1 daily measurement after vaccination
                       (see Section 8.2.2.4) that is assessed as possibly related by the investigator, or for which
                       there is no alternative, plausible, attributable cause.


                   4.  If any 2 participants vaccinated with the BNT162 candidate (at any dose level) report the
                       same or similar severe (Grade 3) AE (including laboratory abnormalities) after
                       vaccination, assessed as possibly related by the investigator, or for which there is no
                       alternative, plausible, attributable cause.
