There are currently three COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States: the Pfizer vaccine, the Moderna vaccine, and the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine. You can find the other COVID-19 vaccines that are in clinical trial phases II or III through the COVID-19 vaccine tracker. View Wisconsin Department of Health Service's breakdown of the three vaccines, safety and efficacy, here.

The CDC issued its first set of guidelines on how fully vaccinated people can visit safely with others. The new guidance includes recommendations for how and when a fully vaccinated individual can visit with other people who are fully vaccinated and with other people who are not vaccinated. We are awaiting Wisconsin DHS to further elaborate on this guidance and what this means locally.
