Moderna and Pfizer Are Reinventing Vaccines, Starting With Covid
The two leading vaccines, are based on a new gene-based technology that could help fight a range of diseases
The technology, named messenger RNA after the molecular couriers that deliver genetic instructions, has long eluded researchers.
An mRNA vaccine has never been cleared by regulators. It is now the basis for Covid-19 vaccines from Moderna Inc. and Pfizer Inc. and its partner BioNTech SE.
“It’s 21st-century science,” said William Schaffner, professor of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. Researchers can design mRNA vaccines relatively quickly once they know the genetic sequence of the pathogen. Researchers use the genetic sequence of a targeted virus to program the mRNA that can fight it.
this is new kind of vaccine technology not the traditional style as done by the rest more infor pls read wall street journal
