AI Thread Summary
All three doses of the Pfizer COVID vaccine are identical in composition, each containing 30 micrograms (mcg) of the active ingredient, referred to as 30-30-30. In contrast, the Moderna vaccine has a different dosing schedule, with the first two doses at 100 mcg each and the booster dose at 50 mcg, noted as 100-100-50. This indicates that while Pfizer maintains the same formula across all doses, Moderna adjusts the amount in the booster shot.

TL;DR Summary
Just want to know
Like the name, are all 3 shots of Pfizer Covid vaccine identical in composition or they are different formula following the mutation of the virus?

I took all 3 shots, just curious whether it's more of the same.

The term used is 30-30-30 for the Pfizer dose of 30mcg. Moderna uses less in the "booster" or third shot than in the first two. So, 100mcg in the first two, 50mcg in the third -- or 100-100-50.

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
