What is in the Pfizer Covid vaccine?
The new Pfizer Covid vaccine is an mRNA immunisation.
MRNA is short for Messenger Ribonucleic acid and is present in all living cells naturally.
The definition of mRNA is that it acts as a messenger carrying information and instructions embedded in DNA.
The new mRNA vaccine is said to use small pieces of Covid-19’s genetic code to start producing the virus inside the body.
