Moderna vs. Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine: Which is better?
The short answer is neither. In December, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released the news the country had been waiting for: The new Covid-19 vaccine, developed by Pfizer and its partner BioNTech, had been approved.

No difference has been shown.
