Vаccines present yоur immune cells with аntigens frоm pаthоgenic sources. 'Antigens' are substances which your immune cells recognize as foreign, triggering an immune response. Typically vaccines have isolated proteins that occur on the surfaces of viral or bacterial pathogens, this allows your immune system to "train" how to recognize and kill pathogens. Unlike most vaccines, the COVID-19 vaccine does not possess a protein that serves as an antigen, but contains an mRNA which encodes for a coronavirus surface protein. How can the COVID-19 vaccine provide immunity (training to your immune cells) even though it does not contain an antigen itself?
