* Any grade pain: Grade 1 (mild) defined as any pain neither interfering with nor preventing normal everyday activities, Grade 2 (moderate) defined as painful when limb is moved and interferes with everyday activities, or Grade 3 (severe) defined as significant pain at rest and prevents normal everyday activities.
Any grade fatigue, myalgia, headache, arthralgia: Grade 1 (mild) defined as event easily tolerated, Grade 2 (moderate) defined as interfering with normal activity, or Grade 3 (severe) defined as preventing normal activity.
Fever defined as a temperature ≥38.0°C/100.4°F by any route (oral, axillary, or tympanic); Grade 3 fever defined as >39.0°C/102.2°F.

A subset of study participants (solicited safety set) was monitored for solicited adverse reactions using standardized paper diary cards during the 4 days (i.e., day of vaccination and the next 3 days) following a dose of AREXVY or placebo; 879 adults received AREXVY and 874 adults received placebo.

The local administration site and systemic adverse reactions reported with AREXVY were, in general, mild to moderate, of short duration, and transient in nature (median duration of 2 days and 1–2 days, respectively).1

In Study AReSVi-006, the most commonly reported (≥10%) adverse reactions in participants 60 years of age and older were:1

  • injection site pain, any* (60.9% vs. 9.3% for placebo)
  • fatigue, any (33.6% vs. 16.1% for placebo)
  • myalgia, any (28.9% vs. 8.2% for placebo)
  • headache, any (27.2% vs. 12.6% for placebo)
  • arthralgia, any (18.1% vs. 6.4% for placebo)

* Any grade pain: Grade 1 (mild) defined as any pain neither interfering with nor preventing normal everyday activities, Grade 2 (moderate) defined as painful when limb is moved and interferes with everyday activities, or Grade 3 (severe) defined as significant pain at rest and prevents normal everyday activities.
Any grade fatigue, myalgia, headache, arthralgia: Grade 1 (mild) defined as event easily tolerated, Grade 2 (moderate) defined as interfering with normal activity, or Grade 3 (severe) defined as preventing normal activity.

Serious adverse events from Study AReSVi-006

Study participants were monitored for all serious adverse events (SAEs) that occurred during the 6-month period following administration of AREXVY (n=12,467) or placebo (n=12,499). SAEs were reported in adults who received AREXVY (4.2%) or placebo (4.0%).1
