The vaccine contains another ingredient that helps the immune system respond to the spike protein in the future. When the immune system knows how to respond to the spike protein, it can respond quickly to the actual virus spike protein and protect people against COVID-19. This type of vaccine was created 30 years ago and has been used to treat hepatitis B and whooping cough.</p> <p><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/different-vaccines/how-they-work.html#subunit" target="_blank">The CDC has more information about protein subunit vaccines ></a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="cmp-accordion__item" data-cmp-hook-accordion="item" data-cmp-data-layer="{"accordion-f359ee8200-item-47b83679fc":{"@type":"aem-mgb/components/accordion/item","repo:modifyDate":"2024-10-30T15:41:32Z","dc:title":"Can I get COVID-19 from a vaccine?"}}" id="accordion-f359ee8200-item-47b83679fc"> <h3 class="cmp-accordion__header"> <button id="accordion-f359ee8200-item-47b83679fc-button" class="cmp-accordion__button" aria-controls="accordion-f359ee8200-item-47b83679fc-panel" data-cmp-hook-accordion="button"> <span class="cmp-accordion__title">Can I get COVID-19 from a vaccine?</span> <span class="cmp-accordion__icon"></span> </button> </h3> <div data-cmp-hook-accordion="panel" id="accordion-f359ee8200-item-47b83679fc-panel" class="cmp-accordion__panel cmp-accordion__panel--hidden" role="region" aria-labelledby="accordion-f359ee8200-item-47b83679fc-button"><div class="container responsivegrid cmp-container-1440-no-gutters"> <div id="container-47b83679fc" class="cmp-container"> <div class="aem-Grid aem-Grid--12 aem-Grid--default--12 "> <div class="text aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div data-cmp-data-layer="{"text-37ddb8762c":{"@type":"aem-mgb/components/text","repo:modifyDate":"2024-10-30T15:41:32Z","xdm:text":"<p>No. The vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, or Novavax) do&nbsp;not contain the whole or live virus and therefore cannot cause COVID-19.</p>\r\n"}}" id="text-37ddb8762c" class="cmp-text"> <p>No. The vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, or Novavax) do not contain the whole or live virus and therefore cannot cause COVID-19.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="cmp-accordion__item" data-cmp-hook-accordion="item" data-cmp-data-layer="{"accordion-f359ee8200-item-cc37f88959":{"@type":"aem-mgb/components/accordion/item","repo:modifyDate":"2024-10-30T15:41:32Z","dc:title":"What are the common side effects of a COVID-19 vaccine?"}}" id="accordion-f359ee8200-item-cc37f88959"> <h3 class="cmp-accordion__header"> <button id="accordion-f359ee8200-item-cc37f88959-button" class="cmp-accordion__button" aria-controls="accordion-f359ee8200-item-cc37f88959-panel" data-cmp-hook-accordion="button"> <span class="cmp-accordion__title">What are the common side effects of a COVID-19 vaccine?</span> <span class="cmp-accordion__icon"></span> </button> </h3> <div data-cmp-hook-accordion="panel" id="accordion-f359ee8200-item-cc37f88959-panel" class="cmp-accordion__panel cmp-accordion__panel--hidden" role="region" aria-labelledby="accordion-f359ee8200-item-cc37f88959-button"><div class="container responsivegrid cmp-container-1440-no-gutters"> <div id="container-cc37f88959" class="cmp-container"> <div class="aem-Grid aem-Grid--12 aem-Grid--default--12 "> <div class="text aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div data-cmp-data-layer="{"text-25c26444d5":{"@type":"aem-mgb/components/text","repo:modifyDate":"2024-10-30T15:41:32Z","xdm:text":"<p>Some people do get side effects after receiving the vaccine.
