The Inovio Zika product â which goes by the working name GLS-5700 â is a so-called DNA vaccine. In that kind of vaccine, DNA coded to produce the protein that surrounds the Zika virus is injected into the skin. The site of the injection is zapped with a device that delivers a short electrical pulse that helps the DNA find its way into cells â a process called electroporation.
The infection, known as Zika fever or Zika virus disease, often causes no or only mild symptoms, similar to a very mild form of dengue fever. While there is no specific treatment, paracetamol (acetaminophen) and rest may help with the symptoms. As of 2016, the illness cannot be prevented by medications or vaccines.
