If menstrual migraines are cramping your style, it’s time to let your voice be heard by others who understand. By participating in clinical research, you can help advance understanding of menstrual migraine.
Clinical trials can lead to life-saving new vaccines, but they can’t happen without you.
Did you know that your risk for infection can vary depending on your age, genetics, and where you live?
It is important that everyone has access to vaccines that work for them, regardless of their background. This starts with clinical trials.
Ensuring clinical trial participants reflect the diversity of the people affected by different diseases will improve the development of vaccines for everyone—but we cannot do it without you.
Every vaccine that we depend on today for the health of ourselves and our communities is only possible because of people like you, who gave their time to help.
Participation is entirely voluntary, and for those in a position to take part, it is a gift.
Each investigational vaccine being tested in a clinical trial will have gone through years of laboratory research before the pharmaceutical company, governmental and ethics bodies, determine that testing in people is ready to begin.
Many entities provide oversight of clinical trials, including an independent group of scientists, doctors, and non-medical members, called an institutional review board or independent ethics committee. This group is responsible for protecting the rights, safety, and well-being of participants.
Before you join a clinical trial, you will be provided with information and details about the study. This process is called informed consent, and will review all possible risks and benefits.
Patient safety is the most important part of any research, and all participants’ health is carefully monitored.
You can leave a clinical trial at any time if you decide that you no longer want to take part.
Why are vaccine clinical trials important?
Vaccine clinical trials (also called clinical studies) are a type of research that helps scientists learn more about ways to prevent diseases. This research can lead to the creation of new vaccines or a new generation of what is currently available. Before vaccines are approved to be used, they must be proven to be safe and effective. Without these trials and the volunteers who take part, much of modern medicine would not exist.
Many diseases affect specific groups of people differently. That’s why it’s important that people from different backgrounds and communities, who are not always represented,
join vaccine clinical trials. This helps address healthcare gaps (also called disparities) in age, race, and ethnic backgrounds, and in communities where we live and work. It is
important to test for differences in outcomes and to help ensure the safety and effectiveness of vaccines for everyone.
At Pfizer, we are committed to creating change for the better by doing our part to make clinical research more inclusive.
Ensuring diversity in clinical trials is a matter of equity. We have made a commitment to design clinical trials to reflect all communities, including the people most affected by the diseases we intend to prevent. Together, we can make vaccines better for all.

Did you know, when your blood pressure is too high, even when treated with medication, it can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease? Find out more about the ZENITH study for people with uncontrolled high blood pressure.
Consider joining a clinical study If you have high blood pressure, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, our clinical study could be a good fit for you. While lifestyle changes and current medicines offer some protection, many people with these conditions still experience disease progression that increases their risk of further cardiovascular complications and kidney damage.
Learn about a clinical study for healthy women ages 16-26. Human papilloma virus (HPV) can cause anal and genital diseases. Vaccines can protect against diseases caused by HPV.
Why might I want to take part? Keeping your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (“bad cholesterol”) levels under control is very important to reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems like a heart attack or stroke. But many people do not get enough benefit from existing medications, and need new, convenient treatment options.
Introducing a clinical trial for adults and adolescents 12+, including those who are at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19.

Are at least 65 years of age, OR are 12-64 years of age and have at least 1 of the following medical conditions:
•Asthma
•Diabetes I or II
•Heart conditions such as previous coronary artery disease, heart failure, or cardiomyopathy
•Cancer
•Cerebrovascular disease (stroke)

•Obesity (BMI ≥30 or ≥95th percentile in children)
•Current or former smoker
Have never received a COVID-19 vaccine or received a COVID-19 vaccine more than 5 months ago, and have not been diagnosed with COVID-19 within the last 5 months.
Do not have a history of a severe reaction associated with any vaccine or vaccine component.
There will be other requirements that the study team will discuss with you.
What to expect
All participants will receive 1 dose of the study vaccine as an injection in the upper arm.
Study duration
Participation lasts for about 6 months.
Study visits
Participants will have at least 3 visits with the study team.
Study-related costs
There is no cost to participate in this study, and health insurance is not required. Participants will also be paid for completing study-related activities.
About the study vaccine
The study vaccine is a modified version of Pfizer and BioNTech’s original mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine, which has been authorized for use in more than 149 countries. The modified formulation is designed to improve protection against Omicron LP.8.1, the COVID-19 variant recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the 2025-2026 respiratory virus season.
Safety is our top priority
Before you or your child chooses to participate, you will be given all the details about the clinical trial, including potential benefits and risks. Participants’ health will be closely monitored throughout the study.
Pursuing updated protection against COVID-19
Staying up to date on your COVID-19 vaccines is still the best way to prevent severe illness, especially for those with certain risk factors. However, as the virus continues to change, vaccines must evolve as well. That’s why we’re developing an updated COVID-19 vaccine for the 2025-2026 respiratory virus season.
About this clinical trial
This clinical trial will help us learn if an investigational formulation of our COVID-19 vaccine is safe, and if it can help the body produce antibodies to fight off new variants of the COVID-19 virus.
Your participation in this clinical trial will contribute to the development of an updated COVID-19 vaccine that may increase protection for millions of people around the world. So,
thank you for taking the time to learn more.
Tomorrow’s breakthroughs start today with you
Participation by people of all backgrounds is critical to developing vaccines that protect against COVID-19. The greater the representation among clinical trial participants, the more we can learn about potential vaccines and how they work for different people. Your participation could make a difference.

Flu virus changes every year, and that’s why yearly vaccination is the most effective way to help prevent flu and its complications.
The FLU SV MRNA-028 study is testing a new mRNA-based vaccine designed to protect against multiple flu virus strains, including those that may differ from the predicted strains.
This study will evaluate whether the investigational vaccine provides sufficient or better protection against seasonal flu compared to current vaccines, for participants who are more than 18 years of age.
Our vaccine aims to enhance the immune system’s ability to recognize and fight off multiple flu virus strains. This may reduce the severity of the illness and provide better defence, even when the vaccine isn’t an exact match for the flu strains circulating in a particular year.
If you are 18 years of age or older and would like to learn more about this study, please speak to your doctor.
Taking part in a clinical trial is voluntary. You are free to leave at any time and do not need to provide a reason.
