Over 1 million doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine have arrived Australian shores, with 10 million more on their way, and as a new vaccine on the market, we’re sure you have a few questions, and it’s great to be informed. We’ve put together some helpful FAQs to help, but in short, the Moderna vaccine is very similar to the Pfizer vaccine, in that both are mRNA vaccines that work by helping your immune system create new antibodies that help fight off the COVID-19 virus.
The Moderna vaccine has gone through the same evaluation and approval processes that both AstraZeneca and Pfizer have been through, and both the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and the Australian Technical Advisory Group for Immunisation (ATAGI) have approved its use for all those aged between 12 and 59 years of age, as well as those who are pregnant.
