Because the spike protein is like the tire on a car, and not the whole car itself, we cannot get COVID-19 from the spike protein alone. The instructions in this strand of mRNA tell our cells to make a “spike protein,” or a protein found on the outer wall of the coronavirus. MRNA is genetic material that contains the instructions for how our body makes the viral protein that triggers an immune system response to help fight or protect our body from infection in the future. Messenger ribonucleic acid, or mRNA, is the active ingredients in the vaccines - it’s what helps your body develop immunity. Active Ingredients in the COVID-19 Vaccines The UC Health Pharmacy team breaks down the ingredients of the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine ingredients - why they’re included, and where else you might see them. That includes ensuring the ingredients themselves are safe. It’s important to know that clinical trials, with extremely strict legal requirements, verified the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines. While some vaccine ingredients have long and complicated names, many of them are already part of our daily lives. With a larger emphasis in recent years on what we put in our bodies, it’s no surprise that some want to know what ingredients are in a brand new product that’s hitting shelves (or freezers) in the United States: the COVID-19 vaccines.īut turn the vaccine vial to the side, so to speak, and the ingredients aren’t so familiar to those of us without a science degree - or are they? Others turn the box to the side in search of the list of ingredients.
