Important Safety Information

Contraindications

Do not administer the Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine to individuals with a known history of severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any component of the Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine.

Warnings and Precautions

  • Management of Acute Allergic Reactions: Appropriate medical treatment to manage immediate allergic reactions must be immediately available in the event an acute anaphylactic reaction occurs following administration of the Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine. Monitor Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine recipients for the occurrence of immediate adverse reactions according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/managing-anaphylaxis.html).
  • Myocarditis and Pericarditis: Postmarketing data demonstrate increased risks of myocarditis and pericarditis, particularly within 7 days following the second dose. The CDC has published considerations related to myocarditis and pericarditis after vaccination, including for vaccination of individuals with a history of myocarditis or pericarditis (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/myocarditis.html).
  • Syncope (fainting): May occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting.
  • Altered Immunocompetence: Immunocompromised persons, including individuals receiving immunosuppressive therapy, may have a diminished response to the Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine.
  • Limitations of Vaccine Effectiveness: The Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine may not protect all vaccine recipients.

Adverse Reactions

Adverse reactions reported in a clinical trial following administration of the Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine include pain at the injection site, fatigue, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, chills, nausea/vomiting, axillary swelling/tenderness, fever, swelling at the injection site, and erythema at the injection site.

The following adverse reactions have been reported following administration of the Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine during mass vaccination outside of clinical trials:

  • Severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis
  • Myocarditis
  • Pericarditis
  • Syncope

Additional adverse reactions, some of which may be serious, may become apparent with more widespread use of the Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine.

Reporting Adverse Events and Vaccine Administration Errors

The vaccination provider is responsible for mandatory reporting of the following to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS):

  • vaccine administration errors whether or not associated with an adverse event
  • serious adverse events (irrespective of attribution to vaccination)
  • cases of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS) in adults
  • cases of COVID‑19 that result in hospitalization or death

Complete and submit reports to VAERS online at https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html. For further assistance with reporting to VAERS, call 1‑800‑822‑7967. Reports should include the words “Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine EUA” in the description section of the report.

Pregnancy and Lactation

Available data on Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine administered to pregnant women are insufficient to inform vaccine-associated risks in pregnancy. Data are not available to assess the effects of Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine on the breastfed infant or on milk production/excretion.

Dosing and Schedule

The Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine is administered intramuscularly as a series of two doses (0.5 mL each) 1 month apart.

There are no data available on the interchangeability of the Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine with other COVID‑19 vaccines to complete the vaccination series. Individuals who have received one dose of Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine should receive a second dose of Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine to complete the vaccination series.

A third dose of the Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine (0.5 mL) administered at least 28 days following the second dose of this vaccine is authorized for administration to individuals at least 18 years of age who have undergone solid organ transplantation, or who are diagnosed with conditions that are considered to have an equivalent level of immunocompromise.
