The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only
Traceability
In order to improve the traceability of biological medicinal products, the name and the batch number of the administered product should be clearly recorded.
$A Spikevax should be administered by a trained healthcare professional.
The vaccine comes ready to use once thawed.
Do not shake or dilute.
Spikevax vials are multidose. Ten (10) doses can be withdrawn from each multidose vial. Pierce the stopper preferably at a different site each time.
An additional overfill is included in each vial to ensure that 10 doses of 0.5 mL can be delivered.
Thawed vials and filled syringes can be handled in room light conditions.
Spikevax should be administered as two 0.5 mL doses. It is recommended to administer the second dose 28 days after the first dose.
As with all injectable vaccines, appropriate medical treatment and supervision must always be readily available in the event of an anaphylactic reaction following the administration of Spikevax. Individuals should be observed by a healthcare professional for at least 15 minutes after vaccination.
There are no data to assess the concomitant administration of Spikevax with other vaccines. Spikevax must not be mixed with other vaccines or medicinal products in the same syringe. The vaccine must be administered intramuscularly. The preferred site is the deltoid muscle of the upper arm.

The forgoing is from the Spikevax (moderna Covid-19) vaccine user information leaflet.
Having read the leaflet, I personally curious about some side effects listed on in this leaflet ans as such I have researched on some of the side effect. I pray that the benefits of this vaccine out weight the risk.
What are some of the the benefits according to the
Risks
According to the leaflet : “As with any vaccine, the 2-dose vaccination course of Spikevax may not fully protect all those who receive it and it is not known how long you will be protected”
I am juxtaposing this risk against the risk of myocarditis, pericarditis and bell’s palsy which may affect 1 to 1000 people.I wonder if the benefit outwieighs the risk.
Benefits
According to the leaflet:
As Spikevax does not contain the virus, it cannot give you COVID-19.
The forgoing is from the User Information leaflet of the Moderna covid 19 vaccine.We shall look at the Pfizer covid-19 vaccine next week. In the interim, let us look at some key issues that the mandatory vaccine order for civil servants does not address.Those are the issues of natural immunity and religious and medical exemption.
It has been proven that those who had survived covid-19 have built a natural immunity against the virus and are fully protected from it. There is an antigen test that can tell if someone falls in this class of people because some people have had and survived the virus without realizing what they were suffering. In fact, it is on scientific record that these survivors have stronger immunities that surpass the immunity of covid-19 vaccine which is not guaranteed and has no definite timeframe. The Washington Post says the following and I quote:
“More than 15 studies have demonstrated the power of immunity acquired by previously having the virus. A 700,000-person study from Israel two weeks ago found that those who had experienced prior infections were 27 times less likely to get a second symptomatic covid infection than those who were vaccinated. This affirmed a June Cleveland Clinic study of health-care workers (who are often exposed to the virus), in which none who had previously tested positive for the coronavirus got reinfected. The study authors concluded that “individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from covid-19 vaccination.” And in May, a Washington University study found that even a mild covid infection resulted in long-lasting immunity….So, the emerging science suggests that natural immunity is as good as or better than vaccine-induced immunity. That’s why it’s so frustrating that the Biden administration has repeatedly argued that immunity conferred by vaccines is preferable to immunity caused by natural infection, as NIH director Francis Collins told Fox News host told Bret Baier a few weeks ago. That rigid adherence to an outdated theory is also reflected in President Biden’s recent announcement that large companies must require their employees to get vaccinated or submit to regular testing, regardless of whether they previously had the virus”.
End quote. So, in light of this fact, people who test positive from covid -19 antigen should not be forced to take the vaccines because they have built a better immunity that that acquired through vaccines.
Furthermore, the class of people who should be exempted from these vaccines also include Christians who do not support abortion. Aztrazeneca makes use of cells from aborted foetus. There is a medical explanation as to how these foetus was aborted and how long ago these was done but the point is that abortion took place or takes place..
The AztraZeneca user information says the following :
“One dose (0.5 ml) contains: Chimpanzee Adenovirus encoding the SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein ChAdOx1-S * , not less than 2.5 × 108 infectious units *Produced in genetically modified human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells and by recombinant DNA technology. This product contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Similarly, there are those whose have allergies and compromised immune systems and the vaccine information leaflet advises that such people, especially those who may react to some components of the vaccines, should not take the vaccine. So, in these cases, should the vaccine be mandatory for every body or should the Government consider several factors which include human rights, Covid-19 Antigens and natural immunity, religious and medical exemptions? Is the government going too far by enforcing a one size fits all in the name of public health? What actually is a public health emergency? Should the vaccine be mandatory since it already has a WHO approved cure named Ivermectin? Is it true that vaccines cannot be made mandatory for a pandemic-causing disease when there is a cure? Is there really a pandemic? Is the Government ready to pay the no – fault compensation to all civil servants considering the fact that it is already broke?
Next week we shall look at the Pfizer user information vaccine leaflet.
Happy Sunday to you and yours.
