Now more than ever, we need to come together to make sure that we can keep on top of the current COVID-19 pandemic situation. This means getting your shot today if you haven’t yet or ensuring you get the full doses of your vaccine.
Valley Discount Pharmacy offers Moderna Vaccine to help protect everyone in the community from the deadly effects of contracting SARS-CoV-2.
So, What Does the COVID-19 Vaccine – Moderna Do?
The Moderna Vaccine is an mRNA vaccine which means that it uses the molecule messenger RNA rather than the actual, live virus as a blueprint to create proteins. These proteins start an immune response which then triggers the body to produce antibodies.
This means that if you contract SARS-CoV-2, your body will recognize it and learn how to protect itself when and if the real virus shows up.
Who Can Take the COVID-19 Vaccine – Moderna?
Individuals aged 18 and older can take the Moderna Vaccine with two doses given 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Important Reminders:
It is important to take the required doses of any two-dose vaccine as stopping at one means less protection. To get the full protection of the vaccine, you need to take a total of 2 doses.
According to an analysis from Moderna submitted to the FDA for its request for emergency use authorization (EUA), having only the initial dose does not mean a ‘firm conclusion.’
