Combinations of different vaccines are also used for other diseases.īoth vaccines have slightly more pronounced side effects after the second dose than after the first dose. It is expected that there will be equally good protection from vaccines given in combination as when both doses are given with the same vaccine. In Norway, access to both vaccine types offered in the coronavirus immunisation programme is now so good that people can choose which vaccine they want to have. A similar combination of coronavirus vaccines is used in several countries, including Canada and the United Kingdom.

In situations where it is difficult to offer both doses with the same vaccine, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health recommends combining the two vaccines. They are very similar in how they are constructed and work. The vaccines are based on the same technology. Since the goal is to achieve protection for many people as soon as possible, some people will be offered a combination of the two coronavirus vaccines. Two doses are needed to get the best possible protection. The coronavirus immunisation programme in Norway uses the two mRNA vaccines from BioNTech / Pfizer and Moderna (see above). Vaccination with two different coronavirus vaccines

Vaccine against coronavirus - Spikevax (previously COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna.

Vaccine against coronavirus - Comirnaty (BioNTech and Pfizer).

The vaccines do not contain products derived from pigs. The vaccines do not contain adjuvants, which are substances that are added to some vaccines to increase the immune system's response. They cannot cure an ongoing illness.Īntibiotics are not used in the production process, so the vaccines do not contain antibiotics or antibiotic residues. The coronavirus vaccines act to prevent disease. The vaccines do not contain live virus and do not cause COVID-19 disease.

These substances are water, salts and sugar. In addition, the vaccines contain substances to keep them stable during production, storage and transport, as well as to provide the right pH, which is important for reducing pain during injection. The messenger RNA is rapidly broken down by the body and has no effect on genetic material. In this way, the immune system learns to recognise the coronavirus spikes and can defend the body if it becomes infected with the virus. The body uses this recipe to make harmless copies of these spikes for the immune system to practise on. The vaccines contains the recipe (messenger RNA) for the characteristic spikes on the coronavirus encased in small fat bubbles. Two of the approved coronavirus vaccines Comirnaty (BioNTech/Pfizer) and Spikevax (previously COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna) are known as mRNA vaccines.
