It’s all about the grocery note. The note with instructions to the body that ensures that people who become infected with the coronavirus are protected against its consequences.
It’s called RNA. That is the string of messages designed by Pfizer and Moderna that is brought into our cells. In the cells, the instructions on the shopping slip are read. Unlike conventional vaccines, no weakened or dead virus is injected. In the first vaccines on the market, the body is instructed to recreate a harmless part of the virus itself: the spike protein. The body’s defenses come into action against the protein and imprint itself: never again.
But how does the message get to the right place? The steps that the body takes from the injection provide a detailed picture of how the most important vaccines are intended to end the pandemic.
