What is the difference between the first dose of the moderna vaccine and the second?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The first and second dose of the COVID vaccinations (whether Moderna or Pfizer) are actually exactly the same. The reason individuals need two doses are because a single dose only gives partial protection, while a second dose gives maximal protection.
