Approved and/or Authorized Vaccines

Three COVID-19 vaccines are currently approved or authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

  • The Pfizer -BioNTech vaccine (marketed as Comirnaty®) is fully approved for people ages 16 and over and authorized for children and teenagers ages 6 months – 15 years old.
  • The Moderna vaccine (marketed as Spikevax®) is fully approved for people ages 18 and over and authorized for children and teenagers ages 6 months – 17 years old.
  • The Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine (also known as Janssen) is authorized for people ages 18 and over in some situations.
Alameda County supports vaccine choice and vaccine safety is a top priority. If you have questions about which vaccine is right for you, we encourage you to speak with a health care provider. While the benefits of getting vaccinated far outweigh potential risks, people should become familiar how vaccines may impact them. Please see fact sheets below about each vaccine, available in multiple languages.
