1. There are 3 vaccines distributed in San Joaquin County
As in California and the rest of the country.
The United States has approved the distribution of the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. All three are authorized by the Food and Drug Administration.
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was authorized on Dec. 11. A few days later, Moderna was on Dec. 18. These two vaccines are received in two doses (or shots).
The Johnson & Johnson one-dose vaccine was authorized on Feb. 27. This vaccine does not need a second shot like Pfizer and Moderna do.
2. Vaccines have been tested and are safe

The Columbus Dispatch
COLUMBUS, Ohio Every year, Arturo pays thousands of dollars in taxes from the revenue produced by his central Ohio-based painting company.
But he will never receive Social Security benefits. Or Medicare. Or Medicaid.
That s because Arturo, whose last name is not being used for his safety, is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico one of about 6 million who pay taxes annually, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
A report from the office shows that 50% to 75% of undocumented immigrants pay billions in taxes each year and have been since the Internal Revenue Service created a program 25 years ago allowing people without a Social Security number to file taxes.
That s up 18.38% from the previous week s tally of 39,631 COVID-19 doses administered.
As of March 15, 8.57% of people living in Livingston County are fully vaccinated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers someone fully vaccinated two weeks after they ve been given a single-dose shot (Johnson & Johnson) or a second shot (either Pfizer or Moderna).
As Michigan passed the one-year anniversary of its first COVID-19 case, Michigan chief medical officer Dr. Joneigh Khaldun said test positivity rates and hospitalizations are on the rise again, and that getting vaccinated is key. The more people that get vaccinated, and the quicker we do it, the safer we will all be, Khaldun said.
