Coronavirus Disease Vaccines

April 16, 2021

The potential vaccines for COVID-19 are:

  • Inactivated or weakened virus vaccines, which use a form of the virus that has been inactivated or weakened so it doesn’t cause disease, but still generates an immune response.

  • Protein-based vaccines, which use harmless fragments of proteins or protein shells that mimic the COVID-19 virus to safely generate an immune response.

  • Viral vector vaccines, which use a safe virus that cannot cause disease but serves as a platform to produce coronavirus proteins to generate an immune response.

  • RNA and DNA vaccines, uses genetically engineered RNA or DNA to generate a protein that itself safely prompts an immune response.
