Saturday, 13 Jun 2020 08:10 AM MYTCHICAGO, June 13 ― A series of studies in mice of Moderna Inc's Covid-19 lent some assurance that it may not increase the risk of more severe disease, and that one dose may provide protection against the novel coronavirus, according to preliminary data released yesterday.
While the data released by the US National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease and Moderna offered some assurance, the studies do not fully answer the question. Subsequent analyses suggest “sub-protective” immune responses do not cause what is known as vaccine-associated enhanced respiratory disease, a susceptibility to more severe disease in the lungs.
The vaccine also appeared to protect against infection by the coronavirus in the lungs and noses without evidence of toxic effects, the team wrote.
