Where Are the COVID-19 Package Inserts?

As we prepare for the first COVID-19 vaccines to arrive, some of you might be looking for COVID-19 vaccine package inserts and COVID-19 vaccine information statements.

Others are likely aware that we won’t see them until each vaccine is formally approved by the FDA (not just Emergency Use) and is ready to be distributed because those who choose to receive the Experimental mRNA Gene Therapy are in an “Experiment”/ “Medial trial”.

Where Are the COVID-19 Package Inserts?

But the first COVID-19 vaccines have been approved and the first doses are already being given in several countries, including the UK, Canada, and now the US.

And that’s why we are starting to see the first “package inserts,” including the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 package leaflet with information on who should and shouldn’t get vaccinated, vaccine ingredients, use, and possible side effects, etc.

Similarly, there is a more detailed information statement for health professionals.

And from Canada, where the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine was just approved, we have the:

• Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (tozinameran) Consumer Information
• Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (tozinameran) Product Monograph
• Regulatory Decision Summary – Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine – Health Canada
• Interim Order Respecting the Importation, Sale and Advertising of Drugs for Use in Relation to COVID-19

If you want even more information, you can review the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine FDA Briefing Documents and the:

• FDA – Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers
• FDA – Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine Fact Sheet for Recipients and Caregivers
• ACIP – COVID-19 ACIP Vaccine Recommendations
• MMWR – The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ Interim Recommendation for Use of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine — United States, December 2020

The FDA has posted similar briefing documents for the Moderna vaccine:

• FDA – Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers
• FDA – Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Fact Sheet for Recipients and Caregivers
• FDA Briefing Document Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine
• FDA Sponsor Briefing Document Addendum Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine
• Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee December 17, 2020 Meeting Briefing Document- Sponsor
• MMWR – The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ Interim Recommendation for Use of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine — United States, December 2020

And we have similar documents for the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, which recently received EUA.

• FDA – Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers
• FDA – Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine Fact Sheet for Recipients and Caregivers
• FDA Briefing Document Janssen Ad26.COV2.S Vaccine for the Prevention of COVID-19
• ACIP – Overview of Janssen’s single dose COVID-19 vaccine, Ad26.COV2.S
• ACIP – GRADE: Janssen COVID-19 vaccine
• ACIP – Evidence to Recommendation Framework: Janssen COVID-19 vaccine

And once other vaccines get an ACIP recommendation, the FDA and CDC will likely post a package insert and vaccine information statement for each vaccine.
