How does COMIRNATY work?

How does COMIRNATY work?

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.

How do I take COMIRNATY?

How do I take COMIRNATY?

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

  • Discuss with your healthcare provider about whether Comirnaty is appropriate for you and when to get your dose(s)
  • Primary series (for people who haven’t been previously vaccinated with any COVID-19 vaccine)
  • Adults and children 5 years and older: The typical dose is 1 injection into the muscle
  • Children 6 months to 4 years: In general, the typical dose is 1 injection into the muscle. This is followed by a second dose 3 weeks later. And finally, a third dose given 8 weeks after the second dose
  • Certain children with a weakened immune system: Speak with your healthcare provider about your child’s dosing schedule for Comirnaty. Sometimes, your child might need additional doses
  • Booster dose (for people who’ve been previously vaccinated with any COVID-19 vaccine): The typical dose is 1 injection into the muscle at least 2 months after your most recent COVID-19 vaccine dose

Note: The CDC recommendations about the timing of Comirnaty vaccine doses might be different. Ask your healthcare provider if you have any questions about how many Spikevax shots you need and when to get them.

Is there a COMIRNATY ® co-pay program?

You can check the top of the page to see if there is an option for a COMIRNATY® co-pay card. Co-pay cards are programs run by pharmaceutical companies that offer you a direct way to lower your out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs for eligible patients. The copay cards essentially allow physicians to prescribe medications that are clinically preferred.

Eligibility requirements vary between pharmaceutical companies. However, they almost all require you to be commercially insured. If you qualify there is no cost to you. It is a FREE program.

Can I enroll in the COMIRNATY ® co-pay program if I have state, federal, or other government insurance?

Most likely, no. The copay card program is primarily designed for commercially or privately insured individuals. However, if you are finding it difficult to afford your medication, then there are other forms of assistance. For example, you can apply for LIS (Low Income Subsidy) or extra help is available online at SSA Medicare D Extra Help. You can also call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). As well, you can look at state assistance programs like Medicaid.

Can I enroll in the COMIRNATY ® co-pay program if I have no insurance?

How can I check if I am eligible for the COMIRNATY ® co-pay program?

If a COMIRNATY® co-pay card exists, you will see it as a savings option at the top of the page. You can select the option and it will direct you to an eligibility checker. If you qualify you will be prompted to create an account with NowPatient, from where you will be able to access the instructions on how to enroll.

How do I use the COMIRNATY ® co-pay card?

Once you are enrolled into the program you will be able to download the card. When you next fill your Rx, simply present the co-pay card to the pharmacist. The Pharmacist will use the card to process and submit your claim. You will then be provided with your discount. The program cost is covered by the pharmaceutical company.

Is there a COMIRNATY ® Patient Assistance Program (PAP)?

You can check the top of the page to see if there is an option for a COMIRNATY patient assistance program. PAPs are programs that are run and sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. They offer uninsured, insured, or underinsured individuals access to high-cost brand-name medications, which may otherwise be unaffordable.

What are the eligibility requirements for a COMIRNATY ® PAP and how much do I have to pay?

Eligibility requirements vary between pharmaceutical companies. However, they almost all require you to be uninsured, underinsured with no drug coverage, or insured but unable to afford your co-pay or co-insurance contribution. If you qualify there is no cost to you. It is a FREE program funded by the pharmaceutical company.

Can I enroll in a COMIRNATY ® PAP if I have state, federal, or other government insurance?

It is possible. Some programs do not allow any insured individuals to apply, however, some programs do have exceptions. If you find that you do not qualify and are finding it difficult to afford your medication, then there are other forms of assistance. For example, you can apply for LIS (Low Income Subsidy) or extra help is available online at SSA Medicare D Extra Help. You can also call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). As well, you can look at state assistance programs like Medicaid.

Can I enroll in a COMIRNATY ® PAP if I have no insurance?

Yes. Most programs are open to individuals who are uninsured and meet income eligibility criteria.

How can I check if I am eligible for the COMIRNATY ® PAP?

If a COMIRNATY® patient assistance program exists, you will see it as a savings option at the top of the page. You can select the option and it will direct you to an eligibility checker. If you qualify you will be prompted to create an account with NowPatient, from where you will be able to access the instructions on how to enroll.

How do I use the COMIRNATY ® PAP to obtain my medication?

Once you are enrolled in the program you will be advised by the pharmaceutical company how they will make supplies to you. In most cases, they will ship the medication through their nominated mail-order pharmacy, directly to you. However, depending on the nature of the medication, the pharmaceutical company may opt to provide you with a pharmacy card (which you can redeem against your medication for FREE at your nearby pharmacy) or ship the medication directly to your healthcare provider (HCP).

Refills are usually handled by the pharmaceutical company.

Can I buy my COMIRNATY ® from Canada?

Americans pay at least twice as much (in fact 218%) on prescription medications than individuals in other countries, like Canada. The reason why Canada drugs are cheaper is that Canada regulates its prescription medication drug prices (the Patented Medicines Prices Review Board) meaning that consumers pay less for their COMIRNATY®. This prevents pharmaceutical patentees from charging excessive prices.

As well, many Canadian drugs are likely produced by exactly the same companies in the same factories, as US prescription drugs.

We have partnered with Prescription Help in Canada that carries thousands of branded and generic medications. If there is an option for COMIRNATY® from Canada, then we will provide this as an Rx savings option to you.

Is it safe for me to buy my COMIRNATY ® from Prescription Help, Canada?

If you purchase COMIRNATY® from Canadian Prescription Help, then there is little reason to worry about safety since it is likely that the drugs will be the same ones you would get from your American drugstore, and would have undergone the same rigorous testing as the American counterparts. Canada drugs are regulated for safety, efficacy and quality by Health Canada, which is the Canadian equivalent of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If you are unsure, you can discuss this option with your physician, especially if you find it difficult affording your medications and may therefore risk not being treated.

Rest assured, NowPatient has done thorough due diligence on Prescription Help, to ensure that the service is adequately licensed, regulated and safe.

We have checked and verified that Prescription Help:

  • Is a licensed pharmacy in Canada.
  • Will only fill your COMIRNATY® if you have a valid prescription.
  • Has a licensed pharmacist on staff to answer your questions.
  • Does not send medicine that looks different than what you receive at your usual drug store, nor does it arrive in packaging that is damaged, in a foreign language, has no expiration date, or is expired.
  • Does not charge you for products that you never ordered or received.
  • Provides clear written protections for your personal and financial information, including credit card numbers.
  • Maintains the highest standards of data security and compliance.
  • Does not sell your information to other websites.
  • Does not supply controlled substances.
  • Does not supply any products on an FDA Import Alert.
  • Quantities are restricted to a maximum of 3 month's supply for international orders.
  • Publishes contact information on website for customer service.

Is ordering COMIRNATY ® from a Canadian Pharmacy legal?

Although it is technically not legal for individuals to import prescription drugs, It is notable that U.S. government officials have stated that individuals who procure non-controlled prescription drugs from Canada or other foreign sources for up to a three-month supply for their own use are not pursued or prosecuted. There are hundreds of thousands of American patients who have used or continue to use Canadian pharmacies to procure their medications at significant discounts. Often the price of medications can be the difference between getting treated or not being treated.

How do I place an order for COMIRNATY ® from Prescription Help, Canada?

If your medication is available from our partner Canadian Pharmacy, then we will show it as an option. You can search for the product by pack size, strength or form and then see the price for COMIRNATY®. If you are happy with the price, you can proceed to the checkout. This will take you to the Prescription Help website, from where you can complete the process. Prescription Help is not connected to NowPatient other than as an affiliate partner which offers services that may benefit NowPatient users. It is not insurance, any payments are strictly cash and are considered out-of-pocket.

What should I do if I take too much COMIRNATY ®?

Call your doctor right away or seek immediate medical attention if your symptoms do not improve or they become worse after using COMIRNATY®. You can also call 800-222-1222 to reach the American Association of Poison Control Centers or use its online resource if you think you've used too much COMIRNATY®. But if you have severe symptoms, call 911 (or your local emergency number) immediately or go to the nearest emergency room.
