Interim Clinical Considerations for Use of COVID-19 Vaccines Currently Authorized in the United States states,
CDC considers a history of the following to be a contraindication to vaccination with COVID-19 vaccines:
- Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) after a previous dose or to a component of the COVID-19 vaccine
- Immediate allergic reaction of any severity to a previous dose or known (diagnosed) allergy to a component of the vaccine

Ingredients
This is pathetic. Go to three authoritative sites and get 3 different answers. But that is not the REAL problem. Look at the content, I cherry-picked. Looks like variance between the experiment subjects.
- Janssen (viral vector)
- Pfizer-BioNTech (mRNA)
- CDC
- Pfizer's fact sheet, pg 34 states,
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is supplied as a frozen suspension in multiple dose vials; each vial must be diluted with 1.8 mL of sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP prior to use to form the vaccine.
- Government of Canada states,
Water for injection Does this mean there is an additional dilution process besides NaCl (Sodium Chloride)? I suspect the Canada site is incorrect based on other readings.
- Moderna (mRNA)
- CDC
- Moderna's fact sheet
- Government of Canada states,
Water for injection Does this mean there is an additional dilution process? I suspect the Canada site is incorrect based on other readings.
- Moderna states,
The white to off-white suspension may contain white or translucent product-related particulates. During the visual inspection,
- verify the final dosing volume of 0.5 mL.
- confirm there are no other particulates and that no discoloration is observed.
- do not administer if vaccine is discolored or contains other particulate matter.
Hope your adminstrator can and does this step.
Immunization Records
To check your immunization records,
find your state. They may not have a centralized database, even if they have a website.
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System
Look up your vacinne, to see the side effects some others have encountered.
Transmission
Bottom Line: If you wash your hands before you put them in your mouth, nose, or eyes, the liklihood of getting any virus is next to nil. Unless you let people, sneeze or cough into your mouth.
