SPIKEVAX (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) is a vaccine to protect you against COVID-19. SPIKEVAX is for people 12 years of age and older. Vaccination with SPIKEVAX may not protect all people who receive the vaccine.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
You should not get SPIKEVAX if you had:
a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose of SPIKEVAX, Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine (Original monovalent) or Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent or had a severe allergic reaction to any ingredient of this vaccine
Tell your vaccination provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:
have any allergies
had a severe allergic reaction after receiving a previous dose of any COVID-19 vaccine
have had myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) or pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart)
have a fever
have a bleeding disorder or are on a blood thinner
are immunocompromised or are on a medicine that affects your immune system
are pregnant or plan to become pregnant
are breastfeeding
have received any other COVID-19 vaccine
have ever fainted in association with an injection
SPIKEVAX is given as a single dose injected into the muscle.
Severe allergic reactions have occurred in some people who have received SPIKEVAX, Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine (Original monovalent) and Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent. There is a very small chance that SPIKEVAX could cause a severe allergic reaction. A severe allergic reaction would usually occur within a few minutes to 1 hour after getting a dose of SPIKEVAX. For this reason, your healthcare provider may ask you to stay for a short time at the place where you received your vaccine. Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include:
Trouble breathing
Swelling of your face and throat
A fast heartbeat
A rash all over your body
Dizziness and weakness
Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart) have occurred in some people who have received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, including SPIKEVAX, Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine (Original monovalent) and Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent. Myocarditis and pericarditis following Moderna COVID-19 vaccines have occurred, most commonly in males 18 years through 24 years of age. In most of these individuals, symptoms began within a few days following vaccination. The chance of this happening is very low. You should seek medical attention right away if you or your child has any of the following symptoms after receiving the vaccine, particularly during the 2 weeks after receiving a dose of the vaccine:
Chest pain
Shortness of breath
Feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart
Side effects that have been reported in clinical trials with SPIKEVAX, Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine (Original monovalent) and Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent include:
Injection site reactions: pain, tenderness and swelling of the lymph nodes in the same arm of the injection, swelling (hardness), and redness
General side effects: fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, chills, nausea and vomiting, fever, and rash
Other side effects that have been reported include:
Severe allergic reactions, urticaria (itchy rash/hives), myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart), and fainting in association with injection of the vaccine
These may not be all the possible side effects of SPIKEVAX. Ask your healthcare provider about any side effects that concern you.
You may report side effects to Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) at 1-800-822-7967 or http://vaers.hhs.gov.
If you experience a severe allergic reaction, call 9-1-1, or go to the nearest hospital.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss your options with your healthcare provider.
