-
Is on active immunomodulator therapy (eg, TNFα inhibitor, or tofacitinib or methotrexate) for an autoimmune or inflammatory disease disorder (eg, inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) at a stable* dose
- Stable dose is defined as receiving the same dose for at least 3 months (84 days) with no changes in the 28 days prior to Visit 1.
OR

The participant or participant's parent(s)/legal guardian is capable of giving signed informed consent, and assent (as appropriate), as described in Appendix 1, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICD and in this protocol. The investigator, or a person designated by the investigator, will obtain written informed consent (and assent, as appropriate) from each study participant or participant's parent(s)/legal guardian (as defined in Appendix 1) before any study-specific activity is performed. All parent(s)/legal guardians should be fully informed, and participants should be informed to the fullest extent possible, about the study in language and terms they are able to understand. The investigator will retain the original copy of each participant's signed consent (and assent, as appropriate) document(s).
Exclusion Criteria:
-
1. Past clinical (based on COVID-19 symptoms/signs alone, if a SARS CoV 2 NAAT result was not available) or microbiological (based on COVID-19 symptoms/signs and a positive SARS-CoV-2 NAAT result) diagnosis of COVID 19, or a past clinical diagnosis of MIS-C.

3. Participants <18 years of age whose weight is less than the 5th percentile of age-adjusted ideal body weight.
4. Other medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk of study participation or, in the investigator's judgment, make the participant inappropriate for the study.
5. History of severe adverse reaction associated with a vaccine and/or severe allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) to any component of the study intervention(s).
