Aren’t the adjuvants being used in this vaccine dangerous?
A. Adjuvants are chemicals used to achieve a comparable immune response with a vaccine but at a much lower vaccine dose, thereby allowing the same quantity of vaccine to immunize a larger number of people. The use of adjuvants can potentially increase side effects. Adjuvants are not licensed for use in this country and this vaccine does not have any adjuvants. BOTTOM LINE: Adjuvants are of no concern with this vaccine since they are not used in this vaccine.
