Study description

This US non-interventional study will use secondary data from the Research Partners that contribute to the FDA Sentinel System to evaluate the incidence of safety events of interest and the incidence of pregnancy outcomes following receipt of the Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine. A self-controlled risk interval design to assess general safety events (i.e., non-pregnancy related safety events of interest, including myocarditis/pericarditis) and a cohort design to assess pregnancy outcomes (spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, and preterm birth) and birth outcomes (major congenital malformations and small size for gestational age).

Update: This study was terminated on 31-Jan-2025. The Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine is no longer authorized for use in the US and safety studies of newer COVID-19 vaccine strains are expected sooner.
