COVID-19 Vaccines

The decision to receive a COVID-19 vaccine should be a shared clinical decision-making process between you and your doctor. We urge you to consult your doctor prior to receiving a COVID vaccine or before vaccinating your children.

In May 2025, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that COVID-19 vaccines were removed from the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule for healthy children and pregnant women.

FDA-Approved COVID-19 Vaccines

There are currently three vaccines approved by the FDA:

  • Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty)
    • Fully approved for ages 12 and older; emergency use authorization (EUA) for ages 6 months through 11 years
  • Moderna (Spikevax)
    • Fully approved for ages 12 and older; emergency use authorization (EUA) for ages 6 months through 11 years
  • Novavax (Nuvaxovid)
    • Fully approved for ages 65 and older, and those ages 12 through 64 who have at least one health condition that puts them at increased risk for a severe outcome from COVID
