Vaccine reactions happen because your immune system is mounting a response to an antigen—a molecule that looks like part of a virus. The antigen used in Covid-19 vaccines is a version of a protein on the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines tell your cells to make this protein using a tiny piece of genetic material called mRNA. By cont...
Side effects across the Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are very similar. The two types of side effects you might experience are local and systemic. Local side effects—meaning in the arm where you got the shot—include pain, redness or swelling. Systemic side effects—those that happen throughout the rest of your body—may include tired...
Put simply: We all have different immune systems. Our immune system is made up of two layers of defense: the innate and adaptive immune systems. The innate immune system is the one we’re born with, meaning it’s heavily influenced by our genetics. Our adaptive immune system, meanwhile, evolves over time. It’s shaped by the pathogens and other substa...
