UBA team creates a COVID vaccines online dictionary

A team of biologists from the School of Exact Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires put on the internet a series of articles to explain how vaccines are made and what are their effects, with the aim of counteracting fake news.

Biologist Horacio Martín Pallarés, a CONICET doctoral fellow at the Molecular Virology Laboratory of the Leloir Institute Foundation said about the initiative:"the important thing is that people look for science-based information on vaccines and do not rely on malicious opinions".

Through images and text, the platform explains in a simple way how the different vaccines work and how they generate an immune response against COVID-19.

The project team is integrated by Horacio Martín Pallarés, Santiago Sosa, Julia Ratowiecki and Florencia Moses. The dictionary can be accessed at www.leloir.org.ar.
