What is the ingredient of this vaccine made of?

The Pfizer vaccine has “lipids” (a simple form of fat that can actually be constructed in a lab, does not come from any animal products), the mRNA, salts, sugar. The Moderna vaccine additionally has a “buffer”. Here is the scientific/detailed answer:

1. Pfizer vaccine:

• mRNA: nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding the viral spike glycoprotein (S) of SARS-CoV-2

• Lipids: forms the nanoparticle that protects the mRNA until it gets into our cells

• Salts: potassium chloride, monobasic potassium phosphate, sodium chloride, dibasic sodium phosphate dihydrate. Helps keep the pH, or the acidity, of the vaccine similar to that of our bodies

• Sugar: sucrose. Increases temperature stability of the vaccine

• PEG (polyethylene glycol): covers the lipid coating

b. Moderna vaccine:

• mRNA: nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding the viral spike glycoprotein (S) of SARS-CoV-2

• Lipids: forms the nanoparticle that protects the mRNA until it gets into our cells

• Salt: sodium acetate. Helps keep the pH, or the acidity, of the vaccine similar to that of our bodies

• Buffer: trisaminomethane. A commonly used ingredient that helps keep the pH, or the acidity, of the vaccine similar to that of our bodies

• Sugar: sucrose. Increases temperature stability of the vaccine

• PEG (polyethylene glycol): covers the lipid coating

Does this vaccine contain pork or anything else that may compromise other believe systems?

No pork. This vaccine is considered halal by many prominent religious leaders (Imam Quari Muhammad Asim-UK) and considered kosher by the Orthodox Union, US Rabbinic Council. The United Arab Emirates and Israel are leading the world in the percentage of people vaccinated.

No. The Vatican has issued a statement stating that taking this vaccine is in alignment with Catholic practices and beliefs.
