Types of COVID 19 Vaccines Being Developed
|
Inactivated or weakened virus vaccines |
Inactivated or weakened virus so it does not cause disease, but still
generates an immune response. |
|
protein based vaccines |
Use harmless fragments of proteins or protein shells that mimic the COVID
19 virus to safely generate an immune response. |
|
Viral vector vaccines |
Use a virus that has been genetically engineered so that it cannot cause
disease but produces corona virus proteins to safely generate an immune
response. |
|
RNA and DNA vaccines |
A cutting edge approach that uses genetically engineered RNA or DNA to
generate a protein that itself safely prompts an immune response. |
