A T-cell vaccine is a vaccine designed to induce protective T-cells. [1]
T-cell vaccines are designed to induce cellular immunity. They are also referred to as cell-mediated immune (CMI) vaccines. [2]
It is thought that they can be more effective than conventional B-cell vaccines for protection from microbes that hide inside host cells, and viruses (such as HIV or influenza) that mutate rapidly.[ citation needed]
T-cell vaccines underwent clinical trials for HIV/AIDS. [3]
As of July 2012 [update] none have been approved. [4]
As December 2020, The Pfizer-BioNTech Covid jab passed the FDA's emergency use authorization [5] and became the first FDA authorized T cell vaccine. [6] [7]
