The vaccine does not “modify” any cells. It’s “messenger” RNA, that instructs a cell to produce a spike protein that the person’s immune system then recognizes and builds anti-bodies against.
The “it modifies your DNA!!” rumor that’s been criss-crossing the Internet has already been proven time and again to be utter nonsense.
So, yeah..it is a “vaccine”, not “gene modification therapy”..unless you choose to believe the crazies.

Oh OK. It doesn’t “modify” the cell it just “instructs” the cell. No modification there. Cell modification and DNA modification are 2 different things.
And sorry, it doesn’t meet the definition of a vaccine because it isn’t a vaccine
vaccine
[ vak-seen
noun
A preparation of a weakened or killed pathogen, such as a bacterium or virus, or of a portion of the pathogen’s structure that upon administration to an individual stimulates antibody production or cellular immunity against the pathogen but is incapable of causing severe infection.
