Benefits of mRNA Vaccines

1
What is mRNA Vaccine Technology?

• Introduction
• In the recent covid19 pandemic, different
  vaccines came into the marketto halt the spread
  of the infection. But two of them use a different
  approach than traditional vaccination methods.
  Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines against
  covid19 used Novell messenger RNA (mRNA)
  technology.
• Although They are the first vaccines based on
  mRNA technology to get approval by FDA, Work and
  study on mRNA technology-based vaccines have been
  going on for decades. Before we talk about mRNA
  vaccines, lets look at what vaccines are and how
  they work?

Benefits of mRNA Vaccines

• Unlike conventional vaccination methods, mRNA
  vaccines are faster and cheaper to produce.
• Because they are made up of non-infectious
  material, there is no need for a culturing
  process to produce them.
• They can quickly develop in a laboratory with
  readily available material in a shorter period.
• These vaccines are beneficial in pandemic
  scenarios where we need a vaccine in a short
  period.

Benefits of mRNA Vaccines

• Theoretically, The basic technology behind mRNA
  vaccines is adjustable, so in case of new
  Mutation in existing viruses or the discovery of
  whole new viruses, it will be quick to update.
• Since mRNA vaccines are based on sequences of
  viral proteins, making a new vaccine could
  require changing the mRNA sequence of the desired
  protein you want to make.
• Unconventional vaccination methods require many
  viruses to grow in the laboratory, which can
  cause potential hazards. In contrast, only a few
  viruses are required in mRNA vaccine technology
  for gene sequencing and vaccine testing.

Conclusion

• Vaccines are being used for an extended period to
  prevent many infectious diseases. With the help
  of vaccination, we successfully eradicate
  smallpox and reduce polio cases by up to 99from
  the world.
• The conventional vaccine has always proved very
  useful in controlling different infections.
  However, this new technology of mRNA vaccines
  represents a promising alternative to
  conventional vaccine approaches because of their
  high potency, capacity for rapid development and
  potential for low-cost manufacture and safe
  administration.
