One of the largest hospital systems in Ohio is not distributing the FDA’s fully approved COVID-vaccine. 

“As of today’s stock, we are currently distributing the Pfizer vaccine that does not have the Comirnaty branding label,” a spokeswoman said, per the Ohio Star. 

In August, the FDA approved Pfizer’s vaccine called Comirnaty. However, OhioHealth - a group of 12 hospitals with 35,000 employees and volunteers - is still giving out the non-FDA approved version of the vaccine, which was only authorized under Emergency Use Authorization. 

“The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (EUA labeled product) is currently being shipped; however, please be advised that the COMIRNATY and the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine have the same formulation and can be used interchangeably. They are made using the same processes, and there are no differences between them in safety or effectiveness,” the company said by email.
