WORRIED ABOUT THE VACCINE? READ OUR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BELOW Information below comes from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). How does the vaccine work? The Moderna vaccine uses messenger RNA – called mRNA. This type of vaccine DOES NOT include any live COVID-19 virus. When a person is given the vaccine, some of their cells will read the mRNA instructions and temporarily produce the spike protein. The person's immune system will then recognize this protein as foreign and produce antibodies and activate T cells (white blood cells) to attack it. later on, the person comes into contact with SARS-CoV-2 virus, their immune system will recognize it and be ready to defend the body against it. Does the vaccine work? Data has shown that the vaccine has an efficacy rate of 94.1% - which means that it prevents developing symptoms of COVID-19 94.1% of the time. The Moderna vaccine is very effective at protecting you from developing COVID-19 symptoms and keeping you healthy, even if you are exposed. What are the side effects? The most commonly reported side effects, which typically lasted several days, were pain at the injection site, tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, joint pain, and fever. Of note, more people experienced these side effects after the second dose than after the first dose. Is this safe? Fifteen thousand people took this vaccine before it was given to the public, during clinical trails. Since then, hundreds of thousands have received the first dose, and many health professionals have gotten their second as well. The FDA carefully tracks reactions to the vaccine to make sure they are aware of any negative reactions. So far, there is no evidence of significant safety concerns. Why should I trust that this vaccine is safe? Many of our patients are hesitant to trust the government when it comes to vaccine safety. The medical system in the United States has a long history of racism, and it makes sense if you are afraid these organizations are not looking out for you. Sadly, COVID-19 is hitting poor and Black communities the hardest, which means that not getting vaccinated might make it even worse. Black doctors and other health care providers came together to write a letter to Black Americans about the vaccine and why they support it (see below). Go here for more from the Black Coalition Against COVID19. From America’s Black Doctors and Nurses: Dear Black America, We love you. We affirm that Black Lives Matter. And as Black health professionals, we have a higher calling to stand for racial justice and to fight for health equity. In the spirit of unconditional love for every single Black American, we have locked arms in an initiative to place the health and safety of our community at the heart of the national conversation about COVID-19. Respect for our Black bodies and our Black lives must be a core value for those who are working to find the vaccine for this virus that has already taken so many of our loved ones. Our colleagues across healthcare know that we are urging our community to take safe and effective vaccines once available. However, for this to be successful, they must do more to earn your trust—now and in the future. We are on the front lines in care delivery, and in key decision-making roles— from the lab to the clinic to the virtual boardroom. We urge you to hold us accountable. We also ask for your help in continuing to protect the health of our community, especially now that the pandemic is escalating at crisis levels across the country. With the holidays around the corner, we want nothing more than to break bread with our loved ones. But tradition cannot stand in the way of our health. We plead with you to wear your masks, continue social distancing, hand washing, and avoiding indoor events until vaccines are widely available. We also ask you to join us in participating in clinical trials and taking a vaccine once it’s proven safe and effective. We know that our collective role in helping to create a vaccine that works for Black people—and that we trust—has an impact on our very survival. We commit to keeping you updated. Please visit blackcoalitionagainstcovid.org/loveletter to learn more about the work we are doing to keep our beloved community safe. We will keep you in our hearts while we work to create a world that is healthier and more just than the one we know today.
