A member asked:

Could there be any trace of antibiotics in covid19 vaccines viz astrazeneca vaccine and covaxine from india or any vaccine? can i get c.diff infection if antibiotics were used either in the manufacturing process or in the final vaccine to be injected?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

THERE ARE NO ANTIBIOTICS CONTAINED WITHIN ANY OF THE COVID-19 VACCINES USED IN THE USA, AND PFIZER, J&J, AND MODERNA ARE COMPLETELY DEVOID OF CONTAMINANTS IN ALMOST ALL CASES. Cannot vouch for any other vaccines, especially from China.
