Myths and Facts about coronavirus vaccines -Washington Post

Primary tabs

Three coronavirus vaccines have been authorized for emergency use in the United States, including two mRNA vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna and an adenovirus-vectored vaccine from Johnson & Johnson. Two more are expected to be authorized later in the spring — a second adenovirus-vectored vaccine, from Oxford-AstraZeneca, and a protein particle vaccine from Novavax.
