Understanding mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines


Messenger RNA vaccines, also called mRNA vaccines, are some of the first COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in the United States.  They are a new type of vaccine to protect against infectious diseases. To trigger an immune response, many vaccines put a weakened or inactivated germ into our bodies. Not mRNA vaccines. Instead, mRNA vaccines teach our cells how to make a protein—or even just a piece of a protein—that triggers an immune response inside our bodies. That immune response, which produces antibodies, is what protects us from getting infected if the real virus enters our bodies.  
  • COVID-19 mRNA vaccines cannot give someone COVID-19.
  • COVID-19 mRNA vaccines do not affect or interact with our DNA in any way.
