Coronavirus disease (COVID-19): Vaccines and vaccine safety
1 Apr 2025 at 5:39pm
Protein-based vaccines: These contain harmless fragments of proteins or protein shells that mimic the COVID-19 virus to safely generate an immune response, Viral vector vaccines: These use a safe virus that cannot cause disease but serves as a vehicle to produce coronavirus proteins to generate an immune response, and

Some vaccines require multiple doses, given weeks or months apart. This is sometimes needed to allow for the production of long-lived antibodies and development of memory cells. In this way, the body is trained to fight the specific disease-causing organism, building up memory of the pathogen so as to rapidly fight it if and when exposed in the ...
