I am really not very knowledgeable regarding vaccines in general (so, apologies if the question seems a bit confused or daft ). I am also not against vaccination in principle.
Do the vaccines that have been around for a long time (e.g. tetanus, polio) aim to generate a T-cell immune response as well as to generate antibodies?
Or is this technique / outcome something unique and novel to the Oxford vaccine?
I'm slightly concerned about this T-cell response after vaccination and whether it could be problematic for people with pre-existing autoimmune conditions (exacerbating the condition or causing additional autoimmune diseases) .
I have seen several references to this, one of the articles is the following:
