That is a false claim.

Nope. Authorized for emergency use only. Using the word "approved" is an error:

Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is a monovalent COVID-19 vaccine that is authorized for emergency use to prevent COVID-19 as:

    The first two doses of the three-dose primary series for children 6 months through 4 years of age. 

    A two-dose primary series for individuals 5 years of age and older. 

    A third primary series dose for individuals 5 years of age and older who have been determined to have certain kinds of immunocompromise.

Read the whole page, carefully. Both are fully approved. I do not understand how you can conclude that the word "approved" is an error when both vaccines were upgraded from EUA to fully approved, in the words of the FDA themselves.

Try reading the whole page.

> Comirnaty is a monovalent COVID-19 vaccine that is approved for use as a two-dose primary series for the prevention of COVID-19 in individuals 12 years of age and older.
