On January 31, 2022, the FDA announced the second approval of a COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine has been known as the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, and will now be marketed as Spikevax, for the prevention of COVID-19 in individuals 18 years of age and older.

Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine is authorized for emergency use as a:

  • Two-dose primary series for individuals 6 months of age and older.
  • Third primary series dose for individuals 6 months of age and older who have been determined to have certain kinds of immunocompromise.
  • First booster dose for individuals 18 years of age and older at least five months after completing a primary series of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine or Spikevax vaccine.
  • First booster dose for individuals 18 years of age and older who have completed primary vaccination with another authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine. The dosing interval for this first booster dose is the same as that authorized for a booster dose of the vaccine used for primary vaccination.
  • Second booster dose for individuals 50 years of age and older at least four months after receipt of a first booster dose of any authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine.
  • Second booster dose for individuals 18 years of age and older with certain kinds of immunocompromise at least four months after receipt of a first booster dose of any authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine.

On February 11, 2022, in consultation with FDA, CDC issued emergency use instructions to provide information about the primary, additional, and booster doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in certain individuals.
