COVID
What is an mRNA vaccine? An mRNA vaccine is produced using synthetic genetic material that mimics the genetic code of the virus. When injected into the body, it instructs cells to produce spike proteins, which then stimulate the immune system to build immunity against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, without harming human cells. Currently, there is one mRNA vaccine available in Thailand: COMIRNATY™.
