mrna vaccine

mRNA vaccines are a new type of vaccine that help protect you from getting sick. They work by teaching your body how to make proteins that look like a virus, so when the real virus comes around, your body is already prepared to defend itself. The vaccine is made out of a special type of molecule called mRNA, which stands for messenger ribonucleic acid. The mRNA is a type of genetic material, like DNA, that helps give instructions to make certain proteins based on instructions from your body. With the mRNA vaccine, it gives instructions to your body to make proteins that look like a certain virus, like the coronavirus, so that your body can practice defending itself against the real virus if you ever get it in the future.
