[국제]How is it different from the US-approved modifier, vaccine, or Pfizer?

Competition between the two vaccines is expected to intensify as the US will be approved for the Modena vaccine after the Pfizer vaccine.

Modena’s vaccine, like Pfizer, uses messenger ribonucleic acid, but has many differences in storage temperature, efficacy, and use.

Unlike Pfizer, a large pharmaceutical company, Moderna was established in 2010 and has been dedicated to ribonucleic acid technology long enough to take its name from the English word for ‘modified RNA’.

The Pfizer vaccine, which is currently being vaccinated, has only shown that even if you are infected with Corona 19, it prevents the infection from progressing to the level where symptoms appear, including serious illnesses.

By comparison, Moderna says her vaccine not only prevents the onset of COVID-19 symptoms, but it also prevents the infection itself.

In distribution and storage, modders and vaccines have an advantage.

Unlike the Pfizer vaccine, which must be stored at an extremely low temperature of -70 ° C, the Modena vaccine can maintain a stable state for up to 30 days at the standard temperature of 2.2∼7.8 ° C for general household refrigerators.

For this reason, if the Pfizer vaccine is distributed primarily to large hospitals, it will be easier to distribute the modder or vaccine to small field hospitals.

But the price is more expensive than Pfizer in Modena.

The Modena vaccine is priced at $ 32-37 (35,000-44,000 won) per dose, which is almost double the price of the Pfizer vaccine at $ 19.5 (25,000 won).

The Pfizer vaccine is subject to vaccines over 16 years of age and the second vaccine is given 3 weeks after the first, but the Modena vaccine is different from the two vaccines in that you are 18 years or older and the second vaccine is given 4 weeks then.
