A new type of vaccine that has never been approved for use before
[Let's keep it that way]

#Moderna’s vaccine, which uses messenger RNA technology, is a new type of vaccine that has never been approved for use before.

Results from a phase one trial of 45 people were published last week. Two injections were given 28 days apart and it was the second injection that caused the most issues.

All the trial participants who received 100 or 250 microgram injections reported adverse systemic events such as fever, headache or fatigue and almost all experienced local symptoms such as pain, swelling or redness at the injection site after the second injection. Reactions listed ranged from mild to severe, with a dosage of 250 micrograms more likely to cause severe reactions.

One study participant who received the higher dose suffered from a severe fever. “After sleeping for several hours at home, upon standing the participant was lightheaded and nauseous, vomited, and then fainted,” the study noted. He later said his girlfriend had caught him as he fainted and stopped his head from hitting the ground. He remained mildly fatigued for six days.
