How Viral Vector Vaccines Work (Covid-19)
Here I describe a brief overview of how the Oxford/AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson viral vector vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 work. Please reference my other videos for mRNA vaccine technology.
There is a lot more information I wanted to cover such as vector past use & logistics, but now we focus on the technology. I do use some technical terms, please find them defined below. Thank you for taking time to learn about viral vector vaccines! 💉
(technical terms: Adenovirus = nonenveloped virus containing double stranded DNA genome & causes cold-like symptoms. Genetic Material = referencing here the DNA component of an organism.)
