Explore how COVID-19 vaccine works: An augmented reality journey into the body – USA TODAY
Messenger RNA (mRNA) delivers heightened antibody responses in COVID-19 vaccines. Vaccines developed by Moderna and Pfizer use this new mRNA technology.
In the race to produce a COVID-19 vaccine, scientists turned to a new technology involving our body’s own genetic process.
Inside our cells, DNA produces RNA that produces proteins. The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines transport RNA in a lipid or fat membrane to our cells via the vaccine. That RNA then instructs our cells to produce a protein like the one found on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19.
