mRNA Vaccine Mechanism, Safety, Communication

Two mRNA vaccines have been approved to lead the fight against COVID19. Both have been rapidly approved with Emergency Use Authorization, which does not build public trust. Ultimately compelling the vaccine hesitant to receive the vaccination may be the most significant hurdle in the process. The science is complete, now the challenge is public acceptance.  Today’s podcast is more detail on the vaccine, how it works, and the reasons for hesitancy.  The New England Journal of Medicine published clinical trials are described as well, along with strategies for effective communication.
