Side Effects for mRESVIA
In a clinical trial (NCT05127434), the most commonly reported (≥10%) adverse reactions were injection-site pain (55.9%), fatigue (30.8%), headache (26.7%), myalgia (25.6%), arthralgia (21.7%), axillary (underarm) swelling or tenderness (15.2%), and chills (11.6%).
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a vaccine cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another vaccine and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The safety of MRESVIA was evaluated in Study 1 (NCT05127434), a placebo-controlled, observer blinded clinical study conducted in 22 countries that includes participants from North America/ Europe, Central/Latin America, Africa and Asian/Pacific regions. A total of 18,231 participants received MRESVIA and 18,181 received saline placebo (0.5 mL).
In Study 1, the median age of the participants was 67 years (range 60-108 years). Overall, 51.0% of the participants were male, 49.0% were female, 33.6% were Hispanic or Latino, 61.8% were White, 12.0% were Black or African American, 11.0% were Asian, 4.9% were American Indian or Alaska Native, 0.1% were Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, 5.5% were other races, and 4.1% were Multiracial. Demographic characteristics were comparable between participants who received MRESVIA and those who received placebo.
Solicited Adverse Reactions
Local and systemic adverse reactions (ARs) were solicited in an electronic diary for 7 days following injection (i.e., the day of injection and 6 subsequent days) among participants receiving MRESVIA (n=18,160) and participants receiving placebo (n=18,098). Events that persisted for more than 7 days were followed until resolution, but not to exceed 28 days after the study injection.
The percentage of participants who reported solicited local and systemic adverse reactions are presented in Table 2 and Table 3. Solicited local and systemic adverse reactions had a median duration of 1 to 2 days.

Unsolicited Adverse Events
Incidence of unsolicited adverse events, serious adverse events, and medically attended adverse events within 28 days of vaccination were similar in the groups that received MRESVIA or placebo. Unsolicited adverse events within 28 days considered related to the study vaccination were numerically higher in the recipients of MRESVIA (5.7%) than in the placebo recipients (4.4%), primarily attributed to events that were consistent with solicited adverse reactions.
There was a numerically higher incidence of urticaria in the MRESVIA group than the placebo group within 7 days post injection (8 and 2 participants, respectively) and within 28 days post injection (15 and 5 participants, respectively).
Serious Adverse Events
The median duration of safety follow-up was 311 days (range 1 to 585 days), and 96.6% of participants had at least a 6-month follow-up duration after vaccination. SAEs throughout the study were reported by 7.8% and 7.9% of participants in the MRESVIA group and the placebo group, respectively. One participant in the MRESVIA group had an SAE of facial paralysis with onset four days after vaccination assessed as related to MRESVIA. Within 28 days and 42 days post vaccination, there was no imbalance in reports of facial paralysis (including Bell’s palsy) between treatment groups. There were no other notable patterns or numerical imbalances between treatment groups for specific categories of serious adverse events that would suggest a causal relationship to MRESVIA.
