Pfizer needle is available in the Kimberley for people aged 16-59. This vaccine will not only protect us as individuals, but will also protect our families, our communities and our region.
What’s in it?
Well, there are only 4 things – mRNA, fats, sugar and salts.
mRNA - this is what makes your body ready to fight off COVID-19 if someone with COVID comes near you. mRNA is NOT DNA and so it wont affect your DNA
fats – this helps mRNA move into our cells
salts – works as a natural preservative
sugar – helps these ingredients stay in shape during freezing
There are less fats, salts and sugars than you would see in a breadcrumb. These 4 ingredients only stay in your body for a few days and then disappear – so we trust this vaccine is safe in the long term!
