Understanding mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines

Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines are some of the first COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in the United States.

We recommend you read more about the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines on the CDC website, which explains how these vaccines work and how they are being evaluated for safety .Importantly, if you are prone to allergies or carry an EpiPen, please speak with your doctor.


The post below does a great job of informing you of the differences between Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines, the most commonly reported side effects, and why the benefits of vaccination outweigh the known risks of contracting COVID-19.
