Anybody hearing about trials for a 3rd dose of Moderna to cover the South African variant?
Heard about it from a doctor friend and I want to figure out how to volunteer for the trail since I have had 2 doses of Moderna.
Related this morning, just reading Pfizer has started a study of a vaccine targeting new variants. It will target 144 subjects from original study with a 3rd shot. News release at: https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-r...iontech-initiate-study-part-broad-development
Sounds like Pfizer and Moderna both have booster to target new variants now. Guess it is a question of how much the virus mutates compared to the changes to the vaccine. Perhaps they will find a target for vaccine that doesn't mutate ? Maybe they find something they can target that doesn't mutate ?
