Virology Lectures 2023 #19: Vaccines

Vaccines are a proven safe way to prevent viral disease and save lives. In this lecture we discuss how different types of vaccines work, including inactivated vaccines, subunit vaccines, and replication competent, infectious vaccines. Examples discuss include vaccines for poliovirus, influenza virus, hepatitis B virus, human papillomavirus, dengue virus, and a new class, exemplified by COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.

Actually, Moderna did test their vaccine's ability to prevent "infection" as defined by PCR test. And it did a good job of preventing asymptomatic infection.

The mRNA vaccines do not use adjuvants, they are said to be self-adjuvanting.
