Moderna - Take The Covid-19 Vaccine

The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine was developed by the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, and Moderna (an American pharmaceutical and biotechnology company).

It was the third COVID-19 vaccine to be approved by the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. The decision was made with advice from the Commission on Human Medicines (CHM), the government’s independent expert scientific advisory body.

How does the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine work in the body when taken?

The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine jabs are known as a messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine. It uses synthetically produced genetic material called mRNA, which encodes the instructions to produce the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) spike protein (the part of the virus that allows it to enter human cells).

The injection inserts this mRNA into the body. This then enters cells, which read the genetic code and start producing the virus protein – thus triggering a response by the immune system and coaching it to fight a future infection.

The mRNA molecule is not injected directly into the body, but is wrapped in oily bubbles made of lipid nanoparticles, to prevent our natural enzymes from breaking it down.

The jab uses mRNA produced in the lab by a template DNA, and doesn’t use a virus, unlike conventional vaccines which are produced using weakened forms of the virus. This can make the rate at which it can be produced or modified dramatically accelerated.

What are the ingredients of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine?

This vaccine contains polyethylene glycol/macrogol (PEG) as part of PEG2000-DMG.

How is the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine administered?

The vaccine is only being administered to people in a safe health care environment with facilities to treat allergic reactions if they do occur. Do not take the vaccine from anyone else. If offered by anyone, and you are in doubt, contact your GP.

This vaccine is injected into a muscle in your upper arm.

It will be given to you as two 0.5 mL injections. It is recommended to administer the second dose 28 days after the first.

When the Moderna vaccine is given for the first injection, the same vaccine should be given for the second injection to complete the vaccination course.

During and after each injection of the vaccine, your doctor, pharmacist or nurse will watch over you for around 15 minutes to monitor for signs of an allergic reaction.

Are there any possible risks and/or side effects of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine?

Nothing in medicine comes without risks – even something we take without thinking, like paracetamol, may pose a risk.

બધી દવાઓની જેમ, આ રસી પણ આડઅસરો પેદા કરી શકે છે, તેમ છતાં દરેક જણ તેમને ન મળે. મોટાભાગની આડઅસરો દેખાવાના થોડા દિવસોમાં જ દૂર થઈ જાય છે. જો પીડા અને / અથવા તાવ જેવી આડઅસરો મુશ્કેલીકારક હોય, તો તેઓ પેરાસીટામોલ જેવી પીડા અને તાવ માટેની દવાઓ દ્વારા સારવાર આપી શકે છે.

આ રસી લીધા પછી તમને ખૂબ જ ભાગ્યે જ ગંભીર એલર્જીક પ્રતિક્રિયા અનુભવાય છે. એલર્જીક પ્રતિક્રિયાના સંકેતોમાં ત્વચા પર ખૂજલીવાળું ફોલ્લીઓ, શ્વાસ લેવામાં તકલીફ અને ચહેરા અથવા જીભની સોજો શામેલ હોઈ શકે છે. તરત જ તમારા ડ doctorક્ટર અથવા આરોગ્યસંભાળના વ્યવસાયીનો સંપર્ક કરો અથવા જો તમને એલર્જીક પ્રતિક્રિયા હોય તો તરત જ નજીકના હોસ્પિટલના ઇમરજન્સી વિભાગમાં જાઓ. તે જીવલેણ હોઈ શકે છે.
