AstraZeneca vaccine: Does the AstraZeneca vaccine use mRNA? – The Express

Many of the vaccines developed to protect against COVID-19 are forms of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines.

The Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines are forms of mRNA vaccine.

Unlike the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna coronavirus vaccines, the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine is not an mRNA vaccine.

Instead, the AstraZeneca vaccine is a viral vector vaccine made from a weakened form of a common cold virus from chimpanzees.
