Messenger RNA, or mRNA, is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/scitable\/definition\/transcription-dna-transcription-87\/\">transcribed<\/a>\u00a0and carries those instructions outside the nucleus where they are implemented. The mRNA introduced by a vaccine cannot enter the nucleus where the DNA is housed.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, RNA, including mRNA, is single-stranded and cannot directly interact with double-stranded DNA. In order for RNA to interact with DNA, it must first be made into DNA\u2014 which requires an enzyme called reverse transcriptase. This enzyme is not even found in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/content\/blog-post\/integration-human-genome\">human<\/a>\u00a0cells, so interaction is impossible.
