9. Vaccines don't protect your sinuses

Thu Jan 6, 2022, 08:36 AM

They provide systemic antibodies, but this is a respiratory virus, so infects your sinuses and the mucosal immunity (think a runny nose when you get sick) doesn't have those antibodies. So it takes time for your body to kill it, and in the meantime, easily spreads to others. Your innards are protected by the vaccine.

While the currently approved vaccines induce systemic immune responses, they probably do not evoke mucosal immunity in form of mucosal, secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) or tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM). Secretory, polymeric IgA can neutralize incoming viral particles at the mucosal surface before infection of epithelial cells takes place, which is important for an optimal protection against respiratory virus infections
