Authorized and Recommended Vaccines

Currently, three vaccines are authorized and recommended in the United States to prevent COVID-19:

Pfizer-BioNTech

Moderna

Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen

The best COVID-19 vaccine is the first one that is available to you. Do not wait for a specific brand. All currently authorized and recommended COVID-19 vaccines:

• are safe,
• are effective, and
• reduce your risk of severe illness.

CDC does not recommend one vaccine over another.
