I don’t think so.
To my knowledge that vaccine injects regular rna into cells to have them produce a protein of the virus, so the immune system starts to build antibodies that target the covid virus.
Since it relies on protein building it uses the regular well-known mechanism where mRNA (messenger RNA) is copied from DNA (then complex shit happens which we will ignore) then it reaches the ribosomes that build proteins from the encoded sequence.
The discussed application for this rna silencing is more active, it directly suppresses some genes of the virus to stop it from infecting cells.
