Brief summary

To assess the impact of reactogenicity among health care workers and first responders receiving an updated 2024-25 Novavax COVID-19 vaccine as compared with those receiving an updated 2024-25 Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccine

Detailed description

This is a prospective interventional study of health care workers (HCW) and first responders (FR) receiving an updated 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccination at the University of Utah (UT). Participants can choose which COVID-19 vaccine type they would like to receive from the study team. For this study, health care workers and first responders are defined as anyone having direct face-to-face contact, defined as being within 3 feet, or about an arm's length, with patients as part of their full-time or part-time (greater than or equal to 20 hours per week) job responsibilities. Approximately 660 health care workers and first responders from Salt Lake City, Utah and surrounding areas will be enrolled into the study. This study will only enroll participants who intend to get an updated 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccine during Fall/Winter 2024-25 SARS-CoV-2 virus circulation. Eligible participants will choose their desired vaccine type (protein subunit: Novavax, or mRNA: Pfizer). Study vaccinators will then administer the chosen vaccine. Following vaccination, study participants will receive a post vaccination questionnaire 48-hours after vaccine administration. Self-reported information on systemic and local reactogenicity symptoms, socio-demographics, occupational history, medical history, COVID-19 and flu vaccine history, and impact on daily activities and work will be collected through the post vaccination questionnaire.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALprotein subunit: Novavax COVID-19 vaccine

Participants will receive a single dose (0.5 ml) of study vaccine Novavax COVID-19 vaccine, 2024-2025 formula (JN.1 containing) in the deltoid muscle of the arm.

BIOLOGICALPfizer mRNA COVID-19 vaccine

Participants will receive a single dose (0.3 ml) of study vaccine Pfizer mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, 2024-2025 formula (KP.2 containing) in the deltoid muscle of the arm.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of participants with solicited systemic reactogenicity symptoms.Day 0 to Day 2Percentage of participants that experienced any solicited systemic reactogenicity symptoms after receiving a single dose of 2024-25 Novavax COVID-19 vaccine or 2024-25 Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccine during the first two days post vaccination.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of participants with solicited local reactogenicity symptoms.Day 0 to Day 2To determine the difference in the percentage of participants that experienced any solicited local reactogenicity symptoms after receiving a single dose of 2024-25 Novavax COVID-19 vaccine or 2024-25 Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccine during first two days post vaccination.
Number of Participants with solicited systemic reactogenicity symptomsDay 0 to Day 2Number of Participants with solicited systemic reactogenicity symptoms experienced by participants after receiving a single dose of 2024-25 Novavax COVID-19 vaccine or 2024-25 Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccine during the first two days post vaccination.
Percentage of participants that experienced multiple solicited systemic reactogenicity symptoms.Day 0 to Day 2Percentage of participants that experienced multiple solicited systemic reactogenicity symptoms after receiving a single dose of 2024-25 Novavax COVID-19 vaccine or 2024-25 Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccine during the first two days post vaccination.
Percentage of participants who experienced any local and systemic solicited reactogenicity symptoms.Day 0 to Day 2Percentage of participants who experienced any Local and systemic solicited reactogenicity symptoms that were reported as severity of 2 or higher after receiving a single dose of 2024-25 Novavax COVID-19 vaccine or 2024-25 Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccine during the first two days post vaccination.
Number of Participants Reporting Perceived Impact on Daily Activities (Work, Social, and Family Life)Day 0 to Day 2Number of participants experiencing any perceived impact on their work, social life, and family/home responsibilities within the first 2 days post-vaccination, comparing responses between Novavax and Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine recipients."
