Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine

The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is an mRNA-based vaccine that helps protect against COVID-19. It works by teaching your immune system to recognize and fight the virus using a tiny piece of genetic material called messenger RNA (mRNA). This mRNA instructs your cells to produce a harmless piece of the virus's spike protein, prompting your immune system to respond and build protection without causing illness. The vaccine is administered in two doses several weeks apart and has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of severe COVID-19, hospitalization, and death.
