Answer

An mRNA vaccine works by triggering your immune system to create antibodies or small proteins to fight disease-causing bacteria and viruses. 

Pros of using RNA vaccines: 

  • Rapid, simple production process
  • More effective than using inactivated vaccines
  • No risk of integrating into host DNA
  • No need for nuclear localization
