Spikevax

Spikevax, also known as the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, is a shot that helps protect against COVID-19. It contains messenger RNA (mRNA) that teaches your immune system to recognize and respond to the spike protein of the coronavirus. This primes your body to fight the virus if you're exposed. The vaccine is given in two doses a few weeks apart and has been shown to be highly effective in preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. It is widely used and approved by health authorities to help control the pandemic.
