KEY POINTS:
* Moderna’s new Covid vaccine generated a strong immune response against BA.2.86, a highly mutated omicron variant that health officials are watching closely, according to clinical trial data the biotech company released Wednesday.
*Moderna, Pfizer and Novavax are slated to roll out new vaccines targeting another omicron strain, pending potential approvals from the FDA.
* Moderna’s new trial results suggest that the company’s jab will still be effective against newer variants of the virus, even as XBB.1.5 declines nationwide.
Moderna’s new Covid vaccine produced a strong immune response against BA.2.86, a highly mutated omicron variant that health officials are watching closely, according to clinical trial data the biotech company released Wednesday.
The updated shot produced an 8.7-fold increase in protective antibodies against BA.2.86, which has been detected in small numbers nationwide. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention previously said the strain, also known as “Pirola,” may be more capable of escaping antibodies from earlier infections and vaccinations, but new research also suggests that the variant may be less immune-evasive than feared.
Moderna is the first out of the companies producing updated Covid jabs to release data on how its shot fares against BA.2.86. Moderna, Pfizer and Novavax are slated to roll out new vaccines targeting another omicron strain called XBB.1.5 within weeks, pending potential approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Moderna’s trial results suggest that the company’s jab will still be effective against newer variants of the virus as XBB.1.5 declines nationwide. Last month, Moderna also released clinical trial data suggesting that its new shot provides protection against the now-dominant EG.5, or “Eris,” variant and another rapidly spreading strain called FL.1.5.1.

It works now. That’s the ticket.
Umm...NO!
NO! from the beginning and NO! now.
What does anyone know of the Novamax shot that is not mRNA?
What does anyone know of the Novavax shot that is not mRNA?
And you stick that s-—t, syringe and all, sideways up your wazzoo, lizard people.
Don’t you believe it. Not even for a minute.😣
How many were Killed during your mutated BA.2.86 Covid variant trial ?
Publish the unredacted data then.
New and improved shots, to create new and improved variants.
BA.2.86 hmmm...86. Does that mean 86 the virus or 86 the patient?
They said it’s like a traditional vaccine. Does it Prevent it...like normal vaccines?
My work is offering free covid and flu shots for anyone who wants them. Six people have signed up with three specifying flu only.
I just had covid. Over it in 6 days. 3 days of a very sore throat was the worst consequence. No need to mess with problematic vaccines. Covidmania is pure hype.
“Moderna says updated Covid vaccine was effective against highly mutated BA.2.86 Covid variant in trial”
Bet ya didn’t expect them to say that now didja?
