The researchers also discovered that the vaccine caused an unusual group of cells in the blood to increase sharply. This group of monocytes has high levels of antiviral genes and normally accounts for 0.01 percent of the blood in the body. But after the second dose of vaccine, the incidence had increased sharply, accounting for as much as one percent of the blood cells.

"What was fascinating was that this cluster increased a hundred times a day after the second injection compared to the incidence one day after the first injection," Bulendran told The Scientist.
According to Bulendran, the monocyte cluster seems to be able to provide protection against several types of viruses.
"It is possible that these cells will have a lasting effect not only against sars-cov-2 but against other viruses as well," he said in the press release.
