Differences between BNT162b2 and Comirnaty®
ASE made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for ASE to read a recent response and update the status.
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
