What's in COVID 19 vaccine?
the world's biggest vaccine driveis currently underway as countries
strive to build herd immunity to the
coronavirus they're stepping up their inoculation efforts as of march 2021
nine leading vaccines are being used
against the sars covid 19virus billions of people are waiting their turn to get vaccinated while hundreds of millions of doses have already been shipped but what are these vaccines actually made of all of the covid19 vaccines being used contain a so-called active ingredient it's the ingredient in
a pharmaceutical drug that is biologically active coronavirus vaccines contain three main active ingredients mrna which is used in the pfizer bioentech and moderna vaccines a viral vector which is used in oxford astrazeneca and johnson and inactivated virus which is used in cyanovac biotech Mrna or messenger ribonucleic acid
is the genetic material that teaches the
body how to make proteins a viral vector is a modified version of a harmless virus or the
body how to make proteins a viral vector is a modified version of a harmless virus or the
vector that delivers important instructions o our cells an inactivated virus is one that's been grown in a lab then killed to destroy its ability to cause illness all active ingredients
have the same goal to trigger our immune systems to make antibodies that fight against the coronavirus in our bodies we often get asked can you get covert 19 from the vaccine
have the same goal to trigger our immune systems to make antibodies that fight against the coronavirus in our bodies we often get asked can you get covert 19 from the vaccine
as i just told you the vaccine is a small component of the virus it's not the virus itself so its impossible to get covid 19
from the vaccine secondly does it get into my DNA it is biologically impossible for that to happen besides minute amounts of the active ingredient water is the main ingredient that makes up the vaccine solution all vaccines also contain different
types of salt one example would be sodium chloride or table salt the cyanovac vaccine uses an inorganic salt called aluminium
hydroxide it's a common vaccine ingredient used to trigger a stronger immune response in the body salts help to maintain the vaccine's ph levels or acidity and keep it similar to that of the human body
the mRNA vaccines contain different
types of lipids or fats these fats are
synthesized in order to move the mRNA
Into the cells sugars amino acids and
ethanol work as stabilizers they preserve the vaccine's effectiveness over time and during temperature changes for the fisa bioentec and moderna vaccines which need to be kept at sub-zero temperatures sugars help stabilize the vaccines in the extreme
cold lastly are substances that keep
components in the vaccine soluble such
as polysorbate 80 which is commonly used in foods like ice cream the vaccines have faced religious hurdles including in muslim populations that follow halal rules on food
preparation pork gelatin which is not halal or permissible under islam is commonly used in vaccines to ensure stability during storage and transport pfizer bioentech moderna oxford astrazeneca and synovac
Have all said their coronavirus vaccine
do not contain poor derived ingredients
johnson and johnson has yet to say
whether it's vaccine is free of animal
derivatives several predominantly muslim countries like malaysia and the united arab
emirates have ruled that all coronavirus vaccines are permissible even if they contain non-halal ingredients but while indonesia's top islamic body has given the green light to the oxford astrazeneca vaccineonly cynervac to date has been deemed holy and halal
foreign meanwhile some christians notable
catholics have moral concerns over the vaccines links to abortion
cells used to make some of the covid19
vaccines are lab-grown reproductions of original fetal cells taken from two abortions carried out in the 1970s
and the 1980s pfizer bioentec
moderna and johnson and johnson used
fetal cell lines to develop their
vaccines.
but the actual doses do not contain any
fetal cells the vatican has since ruled on the issue saying its morally acceptable to receive covid19 vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses in their research and production process some vegans have also raised concerns about the vaccines
while some were tested on animals none
of the vaccines contain animal derived ingredients including eggs as vaccine makers race to increase supply there appears to be sufficient amounts of the ingredients needed to produce the jabs one that may be in short supply though is the lipids needed to make the fisa bioentec and moderna vaccines
nevertheless leading vaccine manufacturers continue scaling up production
in a race to produce enough shots to
beat the global pandemic race.
