People who received the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine had “slightly higher” antibody levels than those who received the Pfizer, now formally called Comirnaty, shot, according to a new small study.
While both vaccines insert molecules called mRNA that teach our bodies how to produce coronavirus antibodies, the Moderna shot uses more than three times the amount of mRNA than the Pfizer vaccine. This, the University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers say, could explain their findings.
So, does that mean the Moderna vaccine offers better protection against COVID-19?
The study was published Sept. 2 in the journal JAMA.
“The thing that will be interesting is figuring out if measuring antibody levels ends up being a good marker of vaccine protection,” study co-author Dr. Jeffrey Wilson, an immunologist at the University of Virginia, said in a statement. “At the moment, we don’t know for sure.”
The team examined blood samples from 167 vaccinated university employees collected anywhere between one week to a month after their second doses; 79 received the Pfizer vaccine and 88 got the Moderna shot. Recipients were 42 years old, on average, and most (72%) were women.
Those who got the Moderna vaccine had more antibodies (about 69 micrograms per milliliter) in their blood than people who got the Pfizer shot (about 46 micrograms per milliliter) — regardless of age.

No. My immune system gives me the most antibodies. Anyone who tells you different is a stooge for the system.
Hooray! I had 2nd shot of Moderna on March 4th, 2021. Only side effect was tired feeling the day after and nothing else after 6+ months.
……………….
Hooray, I had Covid 14 days ago, no poisons injected into my body- natural immunity…..no worries this day forward……
Yeah and my body will provide more then any man made vaccine. I also have a 99.5% change of survival and won’t have to worry for the next yen years about side effects.
The Pfizer jab is pushed for third doses here in the USA while in Israel after jabbing everyone twice with Pfizer they switched to Moderna for the third jab.
I'll trust my immune system, and the Lord. I don't understand why people who are so keen to get the vaccine, don't bother getting tested first, to see if they've already got the antibodies.
Don’t care. Still not taking it.
“ now formally called Comirnaty”- actually Yahoo, the ‘approved’ vaccine isn’t even available or in circulation yet- NOT to be confused with the Pfizer EUA vax out there currently. But no one intended to be misleading I’m sure 😉
Bump.
Yep. Trust in the Lord for we are in that day.
Me neither. The MSM is making another desperate to call us rebels to go back into the fold and get jabbed.
I’m trans-vaccinated. Not vaccinated, but identify with those who are.
Comirnaty has got to be one of the worst branding names of all time. I bet some consultancy got paid millions for it too.

Moderna with mRNA 3x spike protein instructions. It’s what bodies crave.
Fuck Moderna.
My brother had their shot.
He has had CoVid since Sat. (4 days) !
Higher levels of antibodies are likely not the main determinate of a vaccine’s efficacy. The specific point(s) on the COVID-19 proteins (epitopes) that those antibodies “attack” are very important. The different epitopes that the Moderna vaccine is designed to target are probably the main reason why Moderna retained most of its efficacy against the Delta variant and Pfizer did not.

Read studies measuring how much the antibody level goes down per week.
