Dictionary says it's a vaccine. Just because it's not most similar to the polio
vaccine doesn't mean it's not a vaccine.

Here's was Merriam-Webster says....fits definition 1(b).

1) a preparation that is administered (as by injection) to stimulate the body's immune response against a specific infectious agent or disease

a) an antigenic preparation of a typically inactivated or attenuated (see ATTENUATED sense 2) pathogenic agent (such as a bacterium or virus) or one of its components or products (such as a protein or toxin)

b) a preparation of genetic material (such as a strand of synthesized messenger RNA) that is used by the cells of the body to produce an antigenic substance (such as a fragment of virus spike protein)

2) a preparation or immunotherapy that is used to stimulate the body's immune response against noninfectious substances, agents, or diseases
