Mod­er­na's boost­er plan comes in­to fo­cus with pre-print stud­ies in im­muno­com­pro­mised pop­u­la­tions, Delta break­throughs

Mod­er­na sub­mit­ted ini­tial da­ta to the FDA for its Covid-19 vac­cine boost­er plan ear­li­er this week, and that plan is sharp­en­ing in­to view fol­low­ing sev­er­al pub­lished pre-prints over the last few weeks.

Stud­ies out­lin­ing the Mod­er­na vac­cine’s ef­fec­tive­ness in dif­fer­ent im­muno­com­pro­mised pop­u­la­tions, as well as ex­am­in­ing the shots’ abil­i­ty to pre­vent break­through in­fec­tions, have come to light re­cent­ly. And most, if not all, of the pre-prints show Mod­er­na’s shot net­ting high­er rates at pre­vent­ing Covid-19 than the jab from Pfiz­er and BioN­Tech.
