This is a Phase 3, randomized, observer-blind study in healthy individuals. The primary study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA vaccine candidate (BNT162b2): - As a 30-microgram dose, administered from 1 of 4 manufacturing lots (batches) - As a 20-microgram dose, administered from 1 of the manufacturing lots - As a 2-dose (separated by 21 days) schedule - In people 12 through 50 years of age The booster study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 2 SARS-CoV-2 RNA vaccine candidates (BNT162b2 and BNT162b2.B.1.351): - Each as a 30-microgram dose - Each as a 1-dose booster vaccine, administered approximately 3 months after Dose 2 - In people 18 through 50 years of age
