How the Coronavirus mRNA Vaccine Functions | Summary

An brief explanation of how the new Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID -19 mRNA vaccine functions once administered. Both of these vaccines use genetic material in the form of mRNA to code for the coronavirus spike protein. This allows the body to be exposed to the main antigen component of the virus without risk of getting infected. This is one of the first widely used mRNA genetic vaccine medicines. The technology has been in development for over a decade.
