After Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) earlier this week, an FDA panel deemed the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine candidate ‘Highly Effective’ with no serious allergic reactions observed. It is likely the FDA will issue an EUA for the Moderna candidate any time now clearing the way for the vaccine to be distributed and administered nationwide.
In a brief to the Food and Drug Administration dated today, Moderna disclosed the ingredients of their vaccine. We list the ingredients here ordered according to ingredient type for those concerned with food or drug allergies.

Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine List of Ingredients
Having Alpha-Gal and anything to do with the medical field is so scary. I just had knee surgery and trying to explain to the anesthesiologist was a nightmare. He didn’t understand what I was trying to explain to him about what things are sourced from. I couldn’t use certain drugs and ringers lactate, the one hung up behind me already prepped for my surgery had to be replace with saline solution. So looks like I’ll not be getting the vaccine.
On the bright side maybe I’ll have a side of knock out pork ribs!
If you are allergic to Lactated ringer’s the preservative in it is responsible, sodium lactate. I have this allergy. The last anesthetist I had the kindness to research it for me. Now I only get Ns. In doing research the Moderns vaccine has sodium lactate bit the Pfizer has no preservative.
How much human DNA is actually in this vaccine and how much is from aborted babies?
Zero. There is absolutely no DNA in either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine and the mRNA (the active ingredient in both) is synthetic.
Are there nano particles in the PEG?
Is there iodine in either anti- COVID-19 vaccine?
No.
I recovered from Guillame Barre Syndrom 12 years ago and was told by my doctor to never get a flu shot. Is it safe for me to get the Moderna Covid vaccination?
What is the source of the fats in the Moderna vaccine?
Can u get this vaccine if u have an allergy to propylene glycol
