Q: It seems that there are three different COVID vaccines. What is the difference between all of them? Between all three, which has more protection against COVID?
Chrissy Miller, Employee Health Manager, Maui Health: Currently, three drug companies have received emergency use authorization from the FDA for vaccines against COVID-19. These companies are Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.
The most important thing to know is that all three vaccines are safe and highly effective. The FDA did not skip any steps or safety protocols during the approval process. They all went through extensive testing before they were approved and have now been injected into millions of people worldwide with no safety problems.
