A modified messenger RNA (mRNA) of the present invention encodes within its ORF an antigen such as a viral protein, an immunogenically active part of such viral protein, or an anticancer protein or epitope, and contains at least one of an alkyne- or azide-modification in at least one nucleotide. A preferred viral protein encoded by the inventive mRNA is a Corona virus protein, especially nucleoprotein N of SARS-CoV-2. The modified mRNA or a pharmaceutical com position containing such mRNA is especially useful in the context of a method for vaccination against viral infection and adding an adjuvant like a STING antagonist further enhances the immune response in an individual and accordingly the vaccination efficiency.
