VACCINE OPTIONS AVAILABLE

CHOOSE THE KIND OF VACCINE THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU - AND YOUR LIFESTYLE

You have an important option about what type of formulation of COVID vaccine fits your lifestyle and personal preferences. In the US, there is the Spike-Protein type of formulation of COVID vaccine that uses the same technology used in more traditional vaccines — like the flu vaccine and many others. This protein-based option is widely available in addition to the mRNA-based vaccines.

Both types of vaccines have similar levels of effectiveness in preventing severe COVID-19 infections, and reducing hospitalizations and deaths. They both will help you lead the active life you want.

THE BASICS ABOUT THE TWO TYPES OF FORMULATIONS OF COVID VACCINES

THE SPIKE PROTEIN TYPE FORMULATION

A protein-based vaccine formulation is similar to traditional vaccines used for many common vaccines such as flu or whooping cough. This proven formulation has been used for over 50 years in dozens of vaccine types. It extracts a bit of the virus, purifies and stabilizes it. Once injected, the body starts the immune response to clear it.

Spike proteins trigger production of antibodies

THE mRNA TYPE FORMULATION

This vaccine type uses a carefully designed process to extract a viral cell component called messenger RNA or “mRNA”. This is blended with stabilizers and a kind of micro-fat bubble to help move mRNA into human cells. Once inside the cells the mRNA provides a blueprint to our immune system to recognize the virus and produce the immune response.
