* At this time, clinical agencies are recognizing full vaccination in the following ways:

• Completing a 2-dose original monovalent series, such as the Pfizer, Moderna, or Novavax series, or the single-dose Johnson & Johnson Janssen vaccine. All monovalent options will be accepted if they were received in the past, but are no longer currently authorized for use by the FDA. On April 18, 2023, the FDA no longer authorized the monovalent Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 series, and on May 17, 2023, the Janssen monovalent vaccine expired and is no longer available in the US.
• If not previously vaccinated with one of the above, the current updated bivalent vaccine will be required (Pfizer or Moderna).
• This requirement may vary between healthcare organizations. For instance, some agencies may require the updated bivalent vaccine in addition to the original monovalent series.
