Vaccine Authenticity: What You Need to Know
Around the world, Pfizer and BioNTech are working to safely and efficiently distribute COVID-19 vaccines. There are currently no legitimate COVID-19 vaccines produced by any manufacturer that are available for purchase by individuals.
We urge everyone to be wary of any offers for COVID-19 vaccinations that do not come from an authorized source—meaning, from anyone other than a healthcare provider or local government health agency.
The vaccines:
- Are NOT sold online to patients. Any sales of COVID-19 vaccines over the internet, including from online pharmacies, are not legitimate
- Are not taken by mouth and are not available in a capsule or tablet form
- Can only be administered by licensed healthcare professionals at vaccination centers—such as doctors’ offices, authorized pharmacies, outpatient clinics, community vaccination locations, and hospitals
