mRNA Vaccines for Covid-19:
Vaccine that protect you from harmful diseases. Most vaccines contain parts of weakened or dead germs that trigger your immune system to fight the disease.
But mRNA vaccines for covenanting are different. That teaches your cells how to make protein that triggers an immune response.
In order to understand, how these vaccines work. It's important to know what mRNA is? And how it normally makes proteins your body needs?
Most cells in your body have a command center inside them called the nucleus.
It contain genetic material called DNA that consist of instructions for building and maintaining your body.
Proteins are one of the building blocks of your body. When a new body protein needs to be build instructions for building it are copied from your cell's DNA and converted into a message called messenger RNA or mRNA. Then the mRNA travel out of the body nucleus to a protein building in your cell called ribosome. As the ribosome reads the message from the mRNA it builds the protein your body needs.
mRNA vaccines take advantage of this process to help give you immunity to covid-19. Each vaccine contain special mRNA that provides instruction for your cells to build a harmless pieces of the virus called spike.
The spike protein is found on the surface of the SARS COV2 coronavirus that causes covid-19. Each pieces of the mRNA from the vaccine is wrapped in a protective coating. The vaccine is given as a shot in the upper arm. In the body the mRNA particle inside your cell. Once inside the cells the mRNA travels to a ribosome.
Using the mRNA from the vaccine the ribosome makes only the pieces of spike protein from the virus.
After making the pieces of the spike protein your cells destroy the mRNA from the vaccine. It's important to know that the mRNA vaccine never enters the cell's Nucleus or changes its DNA in any away.
Next your cell presents the pieces of the spike protein on its surface. This allows your immune cells to defect the protein and recognize that it doesn't belong there. As a result your immune cells being making antibodies as part of an immune response to the virus.
In the future, if you catch the virus the antibodies recognize and attach to the spike protein pieces of infected cells and the spike proteins on the virus. This marks them for immediate destruction by other immune cells like all vaccine the benefit if these mRNA vaccines is that they give vaccinated people protection from the virus without having get sick with covid-19. Most mRNA vaccine for covid-19 require you to get a second shot within a few weeks.
Sometimes after getting the vaccine you may have symptoms such as a fever this is normal. It's means the vaccine is working to make your immune to the virus.
Vaccines protect you and your family and your community from diseases that can be dangerous or even deadly.
Thank you so much for reading so long.
