Summary of How mRNA vaccines work

The video explains how mRNA vaccines function in relation to the COVID-19 virus. Key points include:

• Virus Mechanism: The COVID-19 virus attaches its spikes to host cells to begin replication.
• Vaccine Function:
  • Vaccines utilize messenger RNA (mRNA) to instruct cells to produce specific proteins.
  • The mRNA in the vaccine directs cells to create harmless COVID spikes.
• Immune Response:
  • These spikes help the immune system recognize and respond to a coronavirus infection.
  • The immune system generates antibodies that attach to the COVID spikes, preventing the virus from reproducing and protecting host cells.
• safety and efficacy: mRNA vaccines have undergone extensive research, confirming their safety and effectiveness against COVID-19.
