COVID-19 vaccine research

COVID-19 vaccine research involves understanding the virus and how it infects our bodies. Scientists develop vaccines to train the immune system to recognize and fight the virus without causing the disease. Various approaches include mRNA technology, which uses genetic code to prompt immune responses, and traditional methods using inactivated virus particles. Researchers conduct clinical trials to ensure vaccines are safe and effective for different populations. Regulatory agencies analyze the data before approving vaccines for public use. Ongoing studies monitor long-term effects and variations, ensuring continued protection against COVID-19.
