    The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of an updated vaccine against COVID-19, called BNT162b2 (2025/2026 recommended SARS-CoV-2 strain).

    This study is seeking participants 5 through 11 years of age who:
    - have at least 1 underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19,
