"HAVE THESE VACCINES BEEN USED BEFORE?
In clinical trials, approximately 23,000 individuals 12 years of age and older have received at least 1 dose of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. Millions of individuals have received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine under EUA [Emergency Use Authorization] since December 11, 2020.
In a clinical trial, approximately 300 individuals greater than 55 years of age received one dose of a bivalent vaccine that differs from the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. Bivalent in that it contains a different Omicron component."
*****************************
More complete detail about 'bivalent vaccines' from the FDA website:
"The bivalent vaccines, which we will also refer to as "updated boosters," contain two messenger RNA (mRNA) components of SARS-CoV-2 virus, one of the original strain of SARS-CoV-2 and the other one in common between the BA.4 and BA.5 lineages of the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2."
