COVID-19 vaccine development involves at least three types. According to the science and analytics firm Airfinity, these are: messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines, vaccines using inactivated viruses, and viral vector vaccines.

The mRNA method focuses on producing proteins in human cells to trigger an immune response, as cited by the CDC. Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna utilize this method and have produced approximately 179 million doses, representing 43% of the global vaccine total.

Using inactivated viruses—killed using chemicals, heat, or radiation—is the most common traditional vaccine production method. Several COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers, including Sinopharm and Sinovac from China, employ this method. This method has yielded 143.1 million doses, or 35% of the global total.

Viral vector vaccines use a modified, different virus to instruct human cells. In the context of COVID-19, this is not the coronavirus but a declared safe virus. This method has produced 92.1 million doses, as adopted by AstraZeneca and Sputnik V.
