Re: MODERNA VACCINE ANNOUNCEMENT

Moderna said Monday its vaccine remains stable at 36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature of a standard home or medical refrigerator, for up to 30 days. It can be stored for up to six months at negative 4 degrees Fahrenheit. By comparison, Pfizer's vaccine requires a storage temperature of minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit.

It is two shots. It does not ave to be as cold as the Pfizer vaccine. IT can also be kept in the refrigerator for 30 days. The Pfizer vaccine can only be kept in the refrigerator for 5 days.

Re: MODERNA VACCINE ANNOUNCEMENT

I am a go for the COVID vaccines! We are all at risk until we can be vaccinated. I have gotten flu vacs for years due to working with the public.This will simply add another to the list.

 

Be Well everyone!

No, I think it will be sooner then that. New administration coming in and they will fast track it I'm sure.   Let's all be optimistic not pessimistic. Don't be content to sit in misery and bring others down around you. Nobody wants to be the t*rd in the punchbowl.

 


It is fast tracked right now.  And if you are accusing me of being pessimistic, the spirit of my post was supposed to be optimistic.  I think a spring roll out is indeed very good news.

Re: MODERNA VACCINE ANNOUNCEMENT

What I don't understand is that people say that you don't have immunity from Covid if you had it because you can catch it again.  If that is true than how can a vaccine work against it once and for all?  The regular flu is around every year and one vaccine isn't enough against it either, must get a different shot yearly.
