mRNA flu vaccines could shorten the development timeline to about a month. Pfizer is relying on mRNA’s agility to fight potential new variants of the coronavirus and hopes to develop and provide a new vaccine within three months of each variant’s appearance. The goal is to turn our bodies into vaccine-making machines, allowing us to fight off diseases with our own immune systems.
mRNA technology is versatile and highly specific, making it a promising tool in the fight against cancer. The moment of creating the COVID-19 vaccine was described as a moonshot, an ordinary and extraordinary moment that has the potential to impact medicine for years to come.
