Understanding How the COVID-19 Vaccine Works

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of a vaccine was prioritized by nations around the world. Now, there are two main forms of COVID-19 vaccines being mass distributed: the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. As there is much discussion around how they work, Coronavirus 108: The Basics of Vaccines provides information about the science of vaccines, including the COVID-19 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines.

This free course is the latest addition to Vector Solutions’ complimentary COVID-19 training series. With these condensed video courses, agencies can easily distribute the most current information throughout their organizations to best protect employees.  

The Basics of the COVID-19 Vaccine

Coronavirus 108: The Basics of Vaccines explains the role of antibodies in the immune system, the characteristics of a vaccine and herd immunity.

Delivered in a 9-minute video course, this short training makes important information accessible. Concise lessons cover how the COVID-19 vaccine varies from other types of vaccines, how vaccines work in the body and the power of prevention.

Note: It is important that each individual decides their own approach to vaccinations, including the COVID-19 vaccine, unless otherwise specified as a requirement of a term of employment or other mandate.
