Here's the list of excipients in the Pfizer vaccine:

1. ALC-0312 2. ALC-0159 3. 1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine 4. cholesterol 5. potassium dihydrogen phosphate 6. sodium chloride 7. disodium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate 8. sucrose 9. water

The first four are various lipids, used to build the lipid nanoparticles. The body can get rid of those the same way that it would get rid any other lipid.

The remaining excepients are just some salts and sugar.
