Parts 1, 2, and 3: Number of Participants With Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Reactions (ARs) Primary · 7 days post-vaccination

Solicited ARs were collected in an electronic diary (eDiary). Local ARs: injection site pain, erythema (redness), swelling/induration (hardness); and axillary (underarm) swelling or tenderness ipsilateral to the side of injection. Systemic ARs: fever, headache, fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia, nausea/vomiting, and chills. Note, not all solicited ARs were considered adverse events (AEs). Investigator reviewed whether the solicited AR was also to be recorded as an AE. A Summary of serious AEs (SAEs) and nonserious AEs ("Other"), regardless of causality, is located in the "Reported Adverse Events" s

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. Any abnormal laboratory test result (hematology, clinical chemistry, or prothrombin time \[PT\]/partial thromboplastin time \[PTT\]) or other safety assessment (for example, electrocardiogram, radiological scan, vital sign measurement), including one that worsened from baseline and was considered clinically significant in the medical and scientific judgment of the Investigator was recorded as an AE.

An SAE was defined as any AE that resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in disability, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was an important medical event. AESIs for mRNA-1273 were identified based upon medical concepts that may be related to COVID-19 or were of interest in COVID-19 vaccine safety surveillance. An MAAE is an AE that led to an unscheduled visit to a healthcare practitioner. This included visits to a study site for unscheduled assessments and visits to healthcare practitioners extern

Sponsor's own description

The primary goal for this study is to evaluate up to 3 dose levels of mRNA-1273 vaccine given to healthy children as intramuscular (IM) injection in 2 doses (in Parts 1 and 2) and 3 doses (in Part 3), and a third dose or an optional booster dose (BD) (in Parts 1 and 2).
