Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine

Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine introduces a weakened version of COVID-19 virus, which triggers our immune systems to fight the virus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between mRNA (Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech) COVID-19 vaccines and Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine?

Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines are mRNA vaccines, which use mRNA created in a laboratory to teach our cells how to make a protein—or even just a piece of a protein—that triggers an immune response inside our bodies. That immune response, which produces antibodies, is what protects us from getting infected if the real virus enters our bodies. (source: CDC)

On the other hand, Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine introduces a weakened version of COVID-19 virus, which triggers our immune systems to fight the virus.

What are the common side effects of COVID-19 vaccines?

Some people may experience side effects from COVID-19 vaccine, which are normal signs that their bodies are building protection. These are the common side effects:

  • Pain, swelling, or redness at the injection site
  • Tiredness
  • Headache
  • Muscle or joint aches
  • Chills
