COVID-19 Vaccines
Scientific Realities
Vaccination History
 First ever made vaccine was discovered by Edward Jenner against
smallpox in 1798
 Jenner scraped pus from cowpox blisters and inoculated on both arms of
an 8 –year-old boy
 Louis Pasteur was the first person to create a vaccine against Rabies
disease in 1885
 Pasteur grew viruses in rabbits and then dried the tissue to weaken them
and then he inoculated the vaccine on one of his patients
Vaccination History in Iran
• First used vaccine was smallpox in Fath-Ali Shah Qajar
time 1849
• Pasteur institute start working on Rabies Viruses on 1922

Vaccine definition
Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s
immune system to produce immunity to a
specific disease, protecting the person from that
disease. Vaccines are usually administered
through needle injections, but can also be
administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.
Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into
the body to produce immunity to a specific
disease.
Immunization: A process by which a person
becomes protected against a disease through
vaccination. This term is often used
interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.

Vaccine Ingredients
Conventional vaccines
Live-attenuated vaccines
Inactivated vaccines
Subunit , recombinant , polysaccharide and conjugated vaccines
Toxoid vaccines
Conventional vaccines disadvantages
They can not
function on a
variety of
infectious
pathogens
able to evade
the adaptive
immune
response
Having not
enough
effectiveness
and a need
for more
rapid
development
and large-
scale
deployment
They may not
be applicable
on non-
infectious
diseases
such as
cancer
An argent
need for a
more potent
and versatile

New era in vaccine production-RNA vaccines
• The first report of the successful use of in vitro transcribed (IVT) mRNA in animals
was published in 1990
• Reporter gene mRNAs were injected into mice and protein production was
detected .
• Although the results were promising ,there were not substantial investment in
developing mRNA therapeutics
why?
mRNA instability

Conventional
Vaccines
SAFETY
EFFICACY
PRODUCTION
mRNA is a non-infectious ,
non-integrating platform so,
There is no potential risk of infection
or insertional mutagenesis
mRNA vaccines
have the potential
for rapid
,inexpensive and
scalable
manufacturing
Various
modifications make
mRNA more stable
and highly
translatable
Major Types of RNA used for Vaccine Production
Non-replicating
mRNA

SARS-COV
Family History
• In 1965 Tyrell & Bynoe found B814 virus in pharynx of a
Human fetal originated from an adult respiratory system with
cold.
• 1980 a new group in coordinated with Tyrell called this group
of viruses CORONAVIRUS
• Coronavirus name points to the virus crown-like morphology
• In 2002 southern part of China was influenced by one
member of this group called SARS
• Between 2002 and 2003,SARS has spread in 29 countries and
affected 8098 individuals whom 774 died from it.
• In December 2019,Wuhan China was a start point of the
most serious world Pandemic from another member of this
virus family ,SARS-CoV-2.
Mechanisms Involved In Immunopathogenesis Of SARS-CoV-2
Covid-19 Genome Description
• Whole virus
• Live viruses are weakened to reduce virulence. Selected by growth in
heterologous species and /or in tissue culture cells
Live attenuated
Inactivated whole virus
subunit
VLP-based
Vector-based
• S protein
• Genetically engineered plasmids containing DNA for viral antigens.
Relies on in situ production of the large antigens
DNA-based
• S protein
• RNA sequence for viral antigens administered by carriers such as lipid
nanoparticles
RNA-based
• Whole virus
• Whole virus is inactivated by chemical or physical procedures. Often
administrated with adjuvants
• S protein
• Made of specific viral proteins or groups of proteins .can be purified
directly from viral particles
• S protein
• Viral surface antigens naturally occurring or synthesized are self-
assembled in to VLPs
• S protein
• Gene encoding a major viral antigen is inserted (cloned)into another ,non-
virulent viral vector expressing introduced protein
Human Clinical Trial
Process And Phases
• Phase 1
the vaccine is given to a small number of
volunteers to assess its safety ,confirm it
generates an immune response ,and determine
the right doses(young ,healthy adult volunteers)
• Phase 2
the vaccine is given to several hundred volunteers
to further assess its safety and ability to generate
an immune response .(multiple trials-participants
same as target group-a comparator group)
• Phase 3
the vaccine is given to thousands of volunteers
and compared to a similar group of people who
didn’t get the vaccine but received a comparator
product(this phase is conducted in multiple
countries-multiple sites in a country)
