Development

The Walvax COVID-19 Vaccine is based on the mRNA technology, similar to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine and the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. The mRNA technology uses a piece of the virus's genetic code to instruct cells to produce a protein that triggers an immune response.

Side Effects

Common side effects of the Walvax COVID-19 Vaccine include pain at the injection site, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, chills, fever, and nausea. Serious side effects are rare but can occur.

Distribution

The Walvax COVID-19 Vaccine is distributed globally under the COVAX initiative, which aims to ensure equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines.
