How the covid19 vaccines compare

As vaccines roll out across the United States for the Covid-19, the table below compares the  three major pharmaceutical companies – Moderna, PFizer and Johnson&Johnson –  who have been approved to dispense their products to the general public.

While the vast majority of demographics seem to be accommodated, there is significant missing data on pregnant and new mothers, as the experts remain unsure of the potential long-term effects the vaccine may have on unborn fetuses or newborns. At the time of this publication, the decision has been left to the discretion of the individual.
