The side effects of booster vaccines are a particular concern, considering that some people experience mixed reactions after receiving both the first and second doses of the vaccine.
The following are the side effects of Moderna to Pfizer, summarized by us from various sources, Thursday (20/1/2022):
Moderna booster vaccine effect
The Moderna vaccine is an mRNA vaccine or a vaccine made from spike proteins on the surface of the corona virus. Moderna injections will immediately work to recognize the viral spike protein.
Quoted from CNN, Ines Atmosukarto, a doctor and molecular and cellular biologist from the University of Adelaide in Australia, said the side effects were not much different from other branded vaccines.
"Yes, the feeling of discomfort, heat, pain, fever is because our immune system is stimulated. AEFI (Post Immunization Adverse Events) is temporary. After 24-48 hours it usually goes away. There have been reports of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart) in young people, generally men," said Ines some time ago.
"But this is also temporary. After a few days it's gone. Don't forget the COVID-19 disease actually causes longer myocarditis," he said.
