Sputnik V and AstraZeneca<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Both AstraZeneca and Sputnik V vaccine are based on a viral vector. It is placed on another virus called adenovirus, which is modified and then molecules of the emerging Covid-19 virus are added to it. The virus is considered weak but sufficient to produce antibodies.<\/p>\n<h3><em>3. Pfizer-BioNTech<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine works with RNA technology. This means that part of the virus\u2019 gene code is injected into the body, prompting it to start producing the s-protein on the shell of the virus, triggering an immune response.<\/p>\n<h3><em>4. Sinopharm<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The Sinopharm vaccine works by using dead viral particles to expose the body\u2019s immune system to the virus without risking a reaction. The vaccine stimulates the human immune system and forms antibodies to resist the Covid-19 virus.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lovin.co\/dubai\/en\/coronavirus\/first-dose\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>ALSO READ: QUESTION: What If I Get COVID After I Take The First Dose Of The Vaccine<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.lovin.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2021\/02\/17091626\/Screenshot-2021-02-17-at-8.14.01-AM.png\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><\/p>\n<h2>Listen To The Lovin Daily Live: UAE Officials Explain The Difference Between The Four Available Vaccines<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Lovin Daily: 40% Of The UAE Population Has Taken The VACCINE! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PCBHGzwVh7\">https:\/\/t.co\/PCBHGzwVh7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Lovin Dubai | \u0644\u0648\u06a4\u0646 \u062f\u0628\u064a (@lovindubai) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lovindubai\/status\/1361895295068504068?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 17, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/thelovindaily\/embed\/episodes\/The-Lovin-Daily-UAE-Officials-Explain-The-Difference-Between-The-Four-Available-Vaccines-eqh5d2\" width=\"400px\" height=\"102px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"articles-text-block\">\n<h2>UAE authorities are reminding all visitors and residents in the country to wear their face mask when in public at ALL TIMES.<\/h2>\n<p>Those who fail to comply with the country\u2019s strict COVID-19 regulations will be subject to face a penalty of AED3,000.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Get yo\u2019self this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.noon.com\/uae-en\/n95-anti-dust-face-mask-with-filter\/N36348681A\/p?o=c295ac33e86a06bc&amp;utm_source=C1000176L&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=C1000123606N_ae_en_web_noon_lovin_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reusable N95 Anti-Dust Face Mask<\/a>\u00a0with a filter for a price much, much less than what you might think.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure your kiddos are safe and comf with this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.noon.com\/uae-en\/fine-guard-kids-face-mask-reusable-face-mask-with-virus-killing-antiviral-livinguard-technology-orange-limited-edition-size-small-orange-8x11cm\/N40351603A\/p?o=da5e76a327c1946b&amp;utm_source=C1000176L&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=C1000123606N_ae_en_web_noon_lovin_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fine Guard Kids Face Mask<\/a>.
