How the Vaccine Works
Safe Instructions

Immune Response
Your body makes antibodies and T-cells to recognize and fight the real virus.
Temporary mRNA
The mRNA breaks down naturally after use — it does not stay in your body.
Long-Lasting Protection
Your immune memory stays prepared to protect you during flu season.
Side Effects & Safety
Most side effects are mild and short-lived. Click each section to learn more.
Most side effects are mild and temporary. Severe reactions are very rare, and our pharmacists are trained to respond immediately if needed.
