mRNA technology

mRNA technology involves using a messenger RNA (mRNA) to instruct cells to produce specific proteins. In the context of vaccines, such as those for COVID-19, the mRNA contains the genetic instructions for making a harmless piece of the virus, prompting the immune system to recognize and combat it. This innovative approach allows for quicker vaccine development and can potentially target various diseases. Unlike traditional vaccines that use weakened or inactive virus, mRNA vaccines do not introduce the virus itself, making the process safer and more efficient in generating an immune response.
