Share Facts About the New Viral Vector COVID-19 Vaccine
You'll hear buzz about the new single-dose "viral vector" COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson/Janssen (Ad26.COV2.S).
Similarly to the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, viral vector vaccines give our cells instructions to make the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein...to trigger an immune response.
