Overview

mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna)   How can the COVID-19 vaccine prevent long-COVID. The COVID-19 vaccine was developed to protect against an active COVID-19 infection. Although active infections are generally acute, long-COVID can last weeks to months. Patients with long-COVID are theorized to be living in a state of inflammation. COVID-19 sets off a cytokine storm, an immune system overresponse. Although the active infection is now gone, patients are still shedding the virus, resulting in symptoms of “brain fog,” exercise intolerance, and shortness of breath.

How it works:

modRNA encoding viral spike (S) protein when delivered into host cells causes expression of SARS-CoV-2 S antigen

Dosage Form: Tablet 0.25mL single dose vial , 0.5mL single dose vial , 2.5mL multidose vial
