The COVID-19 Vaccine Is Here!

IMPORTANT UPDATE August 23, 2021: The FDA has announced the full approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals age 16 and older. The FDA-licensed vaccine will now be marketed under the name Comirnaty, but nothing about its ingredients have changed. The vaccine continues to be available under emergency use authorization (EUA) for individuals 12 through 15 years of age and for the administration of an additional dose in eligible immunocompromised individuals. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine was first authorized for emergency use on December 11, 2020, and it was expanded to include 12- to 15-year-olds on May 10, 2021. All FDA-approved vaccines undergo the agency’s rigorous process for reviewing the quality, safety and effectiveness of medical products. The approval of Comirnaty is based on a review of hundreds of thousands of pages of scientific data and information, according to the FDA.
