    New RNA-Based Vaccine Strategies Offer Broad Protection Against Viruses like Influenza and SARS-CoV-2

    Broke On: Monday, 15 April 2024 Scientists at the University of California and Georgia Tech have developed RNA-based vaccine strategies that target a common part of viral genomes, potentially offering broad protection against various strains including influenza and SARS-CoV-2. These vaccines are safer for vulnerable populations, as they don't rely on traditional immune responses or active proteins. Promising results in mice experiments indicate the need for further human testing.
