Updated for the 2026–2027 Season (XFG Variant)
About the Updated Formula of Comirnaty
The 2026–2027 Comirnaty (Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine) updated formula targets the XFG variant, a descendant of the JN.1 lineage, to better match the strains circulating this season. Built on the proven mRNA platform, it does not contain live virus and cannot cause COVID-19.
Who It’s For
Adults ages 65+, and people ages 5–64 with at least one underlying condition that raises their risk of severe COVID-19.
Updated Formula
Replaces last season’s LP.8.1 formula with an XFG-based update. Protection from past shots or infection fades over time, so staying current matters.
Trusted Safety
FDA-approved based on years of clinical and real-world safety data from earlier Comirnaty formulas.

Why the COVID-19 Vaccine Matters

Science made simple
How the Vaccine Works
Safe Instructions
The vaccine delivers harmless instructions (mRNA) to train your immune system.
Immune Response
Your body makes antibodies and T-cells to recognize and fight the real virus.
Temporary mRNA
The mRNA breaks down naturally after use — it does not stay in your body.
Long-Lasting Protection
Your immune memory stays prepared to protect you during flu season.
Side Effects & Safety
Most side effects are mild and short-lived. Click each section to learn more.
Most side effects are mild and temporary. Severe reactions are very rare, and our pharmacists are trained to respond immediately if needed.
