GONZALEZ DIAZ, Carlos. Anti-COVID-19 formulations with messenger ribonucleic acid in the general classification of antiviral vaccines. Rev Cubana Hig Epidemiol [online]. 2021, vol.58  Epub Dec 01, 2021. ISSN 1561-3003.

Although the use of vaccines for disease prevention and control is a relatively recent social and health event, it has no doubt become one of the main tools of modern medicine to fight infectious diseases. The paper presents a classification of current designs substantiating the various technological platforms of antiviral vaccines, with special emphasis on those based on genes, among them messenger ribonucleic acid vaccines, which have experienced considerable development since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The implications of the successful response of messenger ribonucleic acid vaccines could go beyond the current COVID-19 pandemic. Its success could pave the way for the widespread use of this technology platform for both emerging and established pathogens.

Keywords : ribonucleic acid; deoxyribonucleic acid; messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA; COVID-19; epidemiology; vaccines; virus.
