For comparisons with original BNT162b2, participants were selected from another phase 3 trial. Immunologic superiority 1 month after vaccination, with respect to 50% neutralizing titers (lower bound [LB] of 2-sided 95% confidence interval [CI] for geometric mean ratio [GMR], &amp;gt;1), and noninferiority with respect to seroresponse rates (LB of 2-sided 95% CI for rate difference, greater than −5%), for Omicron BA.4/BA.5 were assessed in &amp;gt;55-year-olds versus original BNT162b2 as a second booster. Noninferiority with respect to neutralizing titer level (LB of 2-sided 95% CI for GMR, &amp;gt; 0.67) and seroresponse rate (LB of 2-sided 95% CI for rate difference, greater than −10%) of Omicron BA.4/BA.5 immune response for BNT162b2-Omi.BA.4/BA.5 in 18–55 versus &amp;gt;55-year-olds was assessed.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>One month after vaccination in &amp;gt;55-year-olds, the model-adjusted GMR of Omicron BA.4/BA.5 neutralizing titers for the BNT162b2-Omi.BA.4/BA.5 versus BNT162b2 groups (2.91 [95% CI, 2.45–3.44]) demonstrated the superiority of BNT162b2-Omi.BA.4/BA.5. Adjusted difference in the percentages of &amp;gt;55-year-olds with seroresponse (26.77% [95% CI, 19.59–33.95]) showed noninferiority of BNT162b2-Omi.BA.4/BA.5 to BNT162b2. Noninferiority of BNT162b2-Omi.BA.4/BA.5 in 18–55-year-olds compared with &amp;gt;55-year-olds was met for model-adjusted GMR and seroresponse. Geometric mean titers in 12–17-year-olds increased from baseline to 1 month after vaccination. The BNT162b2-Omi.BA.4/BA.5 safety profile was similar to the profiles for booster doses of bivalent Omicron BA.1-modified BNT162b2 and original BNT162b2 reported in previous studies.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title> <jats:p>Based on immunogenicity and safety data up to 1 month after vaccination in participants who previously received 3 original BNT162b2 doses, a BNT162b2-Omi.BA.4/BA.5 30-µg booster has a favorable benefit-risk profile.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Clinical Trials Registration</jats:title> <jats:p>NCT05472038</jats:p> </jats:sec>
