What vaccines are available for COVID-19?

Reading time: 2 min

A major global effort is underway to accelerate the development of vaccines to protect against the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is the organisation responsible for ensuring the scientific evaluation, supervision and safety monitoring of medicinal products for human and veterinary use in the European Union (EU). The vaccines will be procured jointly by all the countries in the European Union, coordinated by the European Commission.

There are currently four COVID-19 vaccines authorised in the European Union, the Pfizer/BioNTech COMIRNATY, the Moderna vaccine and the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine and the Janssen vaccine.
