Learn How the Adenovirus-Based Vaccine Offers Protection from COVID-19

ASGCT Staff - April 09, 2021

ASGCT has created new Patient Education resources to explain how the latest adenovirus-based vaccine works to offer protection from COVID-19.

ASGCT is sharing new educational resources we developed to explain how the latest adenovirus-based vaccine works and why it's safe and effective against COVID-19. ASGCT is well positioned to share this knowledge as a reliable and unbiased source of information since our members include scientists who have spent years using adenoviruses in gene therapy and researching their use in vaccines.

The resources created by ASGCT include a three-minute videoinfographic, and frequently asked questions such as:

  • What are adenoviruses and how do they work in a vaccine?
  • How was the vaccine developed and tested so quickly?
  • How effective is the vaccine?
  • Are there side effects?

We ask that you please share these resources, along with our resources about the mRNA vaccines, broadly among your circles of colleagues, friends, and family. Our goal is to help inform, ease fears, and celebrate this accomplishment in the gene therapy field. Let's work together to build protection against the virus!
