A single vaccine has been shown to protect people from both SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses — and with a higher effectiveness than vaccines that target one or the other, the pharmaceutical company Moderna has announced.
Moderna, which is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, said earlier this month that it had successfully completed phase-III clinical trials for the drug, which — like the company’s pioneering COVID-19 vaccines — is based on mRNA. In a statement to its investors, Moderna said that the vaccine was more effective at providing immunity to adults over the age of 50 than competing flu and COVID-19 shots.
Moderna is now planning to seek approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to bring the vaccine to market.

DJ, I am not fond of (more) vaccines. But vaccines have to play a role in limiting the to be expected massive healthcrisis...

However-my view-Non Pharma Interventions (NPI) need to do most of the job...

To put it cynical; Most people rather take a vaccine than wear a mask/eye protection in public spaces...Deal with serious travel limits...

Virtual reality can replace some of the travel needs...So limit "free travel" for diseases.

People may NOT die from CoViD that often...still even mild initial infections may result in long term damage....Since that damage-for now-hardly shows up in hospitals-it is easy to ignore...

On the long run Long CoViD (with a lot of similarity to ME-CFS) will DESTROY the economy we are now supposed to be saving...
