The vaccine landscape became more complicated this week after FDA’s approval of COMIRNATY, the vaccine manufactured by Pfizer Inc. of New York for BioNTech Manufacturing of Mainz, Germany. I’ve prepared this chart to aid understanding of what’s approved, what’s authorized by EUA, and what’s neither approved nor authorized. I’ve also included the major warnings listed on the factsheets or prescribing information for each vaccine. A “No” in this section doesn’t necessarily mean that the complication cannot happen, since all authorized vaccines include the warning of other risks that are not listed.
An FDA approved vaccine is not available for injection as of this writing. We are learning that all these vaccines are “leaky.” Soon, I’ll post an article that breaks down what a leaky vaccine is and what that means for the pandemic.

Thanks Dr. Homer. Would you please make some comment about the Sinovac vaccine. I am an Australian living in Singapore and I have the option of having that one once stocks are available again. There is a lot of social pressure here to get one of the vaccines here; I just do not feel comfortable with the others, but feel since the Sinvac is traditional vaccine technology it is most likely not presenting the same issues as mRNA based vaccines.
Can you also comment on Novavax for the same reasons?? Thank you for giving us the facts and data.
