As published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), a 50 µg booster dose of mRNA-1273.214 elicited a superior neutralizing antibody response against Omicron BA.1 and Omicron BA.4/BA.5 compared to the booster dose of mRNA-1273, with superiority lasting through at least three months. In both groups, participants received the booster dose approximately 4.5 months after prior vaccination.

The frequency of adverse reactions with mRNA-1273.222 and mRNA-1273.214 were similar or lower than that of either a second or third dose of the original vaccine. Additionally, no new safety concerns were identified after approximately one month and three months of follow-up, respectively. These safety and immunogenicity data will be submitted for peer-reviewed publication and shared with regulators globally. These safety data are consistent with those recently published by the U.S. CDC and FDA in an analysis of over 211,000 individuals in the v-safe database1.
