All vaccines aim to stimulate the bodies immune system to generate antibodies and T cells that will kill any corona virus that gets into the body. This one is unusual as it uses part of the genetic RNA to do that, usually you can be given a live virus that has been made less virulent, or a killed virus. It’s trial and error to see what works.

This one poses logistic issues as it has to be stored in a deep freeze at -80 deg C so that will be a challenge for transportation and distribution to those injecting it.

I heard that the 90% success related to around 90 patients. So it needs more work.
I think the brains behind this is in BioNtech the German company with Pfizer having the manufacturing and testing capacity. It was a deliberate action not serendipitous.
