- Page 1 says you’re getting the EUA vaccine or the FDA-approved one, that they have the “same formulation and can be used interchangeably.” The footnote for that statement reads, “The licensed vaccine has the same formulation as the EUA-authorized vaccine and the products can be used interchangeably to provide the vaccination series without presenting any safety or effectiveness concerns. The products are legally distinct with certain differences that do not impact safety or effectiveness.”
- Page 3 lists ingredients: COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) and the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine include the following ingredients: mRNA, lipids ((4-hydroxybutyl)azanediyl)bis(hexane6,1-diyl)bis(2-hexyldecanoate), 2 [(polyethylene glycol)-2000]-N,Nditetradecylacetamide, 1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, and cholesterol), potassium chloride, monobasic potassium phosphate, sodium chloride, dibasic sodium phosphate dihydrate, and sucrose.
- Page 3 has things to mention to your vaccination provider before getting the vaccine. Examples: have any allergies, have had myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) or pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart), have a bleeding disorder or are on a blood thinner, are immunocompromised or are on a medicine that affects your immune system.
