The COVID-19 vaccines work by teaching the immune system to protect against the virus, experts said. Neither of the two vaccines approved in the United States — made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna — contains the live virus. This is because it’s not known how long immunity to the virus lasts after an infection.
