TRIBUNNEWS.COM, NEW YORK – Some studies show vaccine dose corona virus (Covid-19) Modern can increase antibody which is higher than Pfizer.
Whereas these two vaccines use the Messenger RNA (mRNA) method but with different minimum dose levels.
Be aware, vaccines Pfizer has 30 micrograms of mRNA, whereas Modern 100 micrograms.
Quoted from the page Business Insider, Sunday (12/9/2021), a study conducted on 1,600 Belgian health workers and published as a research letter in the Journal of the American Medical Association on August 30, found that the vaccine Modern produce twice as many antibodies as Pfizer at six to 10 weeks after vaccination.
The study authors conveyed higher levels of mRNA in the vaccine Modern and the longer interval between doses one and two, ‘may explain this difference’.
A study conducted by the University of Virginia and published as a research letter in JAMA on September 2, found no difference in antibody responses among age groups taking the vaccine. Modern.
However, the antibody response was lower in people aged 50 years and over who used the Pfizer vaccine.

The researchers say that this difference may be related to the amount of mRNA in each vaccine.
The antibody response is only one aspect of the immune system, and the level of antibodies required to protect against Covid-19 has not yet been determined.
