The mRNA types produce two types of immunity. One that is present in bodily fluids, such as blood. This is the type that produces antibodies and is the way that historical vaccines work. mRNA vaccines also trigger cellular immunity, whereby production of phagocytes removes virus-infected cells. Arguably there's a third way, the stimulation of cells to produce substances called cytokines which play a part in the way other cells are involved in immune response. Plus it's new technology and I'm interested.
