Comirnaty is a mRNA vaccine. This vaccine contains lab-made mRNA (genetic information) that teaches your body to make a part of the “spike protein” found on the virus that causes COVID-19. Your immune system recognizes that this harmless spike protein doesn’t belong in your body. This triggers your immune system to make antibodies against the protein. The antibodies tell other immune cells to get rid of it. Your immune system learns and remembers what the spike protein of the COVID-19 virus looks like. So when you get infected with the COVID-19 virus, your immune system is ready to fight and protect you from infection.

Comirnaty is injected into the muscle by a healthcare provider. Each injection has 0.3 mL of medication.
