Differences between BNT162b2 and Comirnaty®

ASE made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health

Currently waiting for a response from Ministry of Health, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).

From: ASE

Attn Ministry of Health,

I am seeking information regarding substantive differences between BNT162b2 and Comirnaty®.

Both products have variously been referred to as “COVID-19 vaccines” and “vaccine candidates”.

1- Are/were the same manufacturing processes used to manufacture Comirnaty® and BNT162b2? Has The Ministry of Health confirmed such information with the manufacturer/supplier?

2- What information is held by The Ministry of Health regarding similarities and differences between the manufacturing processes of BNT162b2 and Comirnaty®?

3- Are there any quantifiable differences between BNT162b2 and Comirnaty®, eg regarding the use or presence of SV40 sequences, the presence of DNA, the integrity of synthetic mRNA, the use of methyl-pseudouridine, or any other quantifiable differences?

Thank you,
ASE
