The new vaccine, for now known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, mimics the T cell signals that directly stimulate innate immune cells in the lungs.

It also contains a harmless antigen which recruits T cells into the lungs to help the body fight pathogens for weeks or months.

I wonder if it helps much for new antigens vs viruses you've already encountered.
