Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The vaccine production strategies that could be used to produce a vaccine against meningococcal meningitis.
Concept introduction:
Meningitis is the inflammation of meninges, three protective layers of the nervous system. Bacteria cause most serious forms of meningitis. It is facilitated by the previous infection with respiratory viruses. Some forms of meningitis are also caused by viruses.

Choose all the true statements regarding coronavirus proteins.
Vaccine preventable diseases include COVID-19.
For coronaviruses, it is more likely to find evolving mutations in the portion of the spike protein than the nucleocapsid protein.
Mutations in the genetic code for the spike protein will produce 3D changes that are more likely to affect vaccine efficacy than changes to the nucleocapsid protein code.
The nucleocapsid protein interacts with viral nucleic acid specifically whereas the spike protein interacts with the host protein non-specifically.
The world is relieved and excited at the availability of vaccines against COVID-19 pandemic.
