A number of vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus (which causes COVID) are currently in use. Based on what you learned about the immune system and vaccines, this vaccine should provide immunity against this virus because: a   Vaccines bind to the variable region of immunoglobulins, and prevent the antibody-antigen interactions required for the virus to be released from cells. b   Vaccines elicit a primary immune response and resulting memory cells specific to the viral antigens can persist in the body   c   Vaccines block clonal expansion of helper T cells which are required for the virus to infect cells d   Vaccines block the production of cytokines e   Vaccines induce cytotoxic T cells to produce antibodies specific to antigens on the virus
