The Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded Monday to two scientists whose work led to the mRNA vaccines against COVID-19. As countries prepared to roll out those shots, The Associated Press took a look at how the vaccines were developed so quickly. ___How could scientists race out COVID-19 vaccines so fast without cutting corners? A head start helped -- over a decade of behind-the-scenes research that had new vaccine technology poised for a challenge just as the coronavirus erupted. Both shots — one made by Pfizer and BioNTech, the other by Moderna and the National Institutes of Health — are so-called messenger RNA, or mRNA, vaccines, a brand-new technology.

Rezultatele îmbucurătoare vin în contextul în care și vaccinul Pfizer a rătat o eficiență de 92% , fapt ce crește speranța că aceste vaccinuri ar putea să ducă la un sfârșit al pandemiei de coronavirus. Moderna a anunțat că plănuiește să aplice pentru aprobarea folosirii vaccinului în următoarele săptămâni. Testarea vaccinului a implicat 30.000 de oameni din Statele Unite, jumătate primind două doze de vaccin, la patru săptămâni distanță. Analiza a fost bazată pe primele 95 de cazuri care au devenit simptomatice cu Covid-19 – dintre aceștia, doar cinci primiseră vaccinul, în timp ce ceilalți fuseseră injectați cu o substanță placebo. Este o zi grozavă”, a declarat Tal Zaks, directorul medical de la Moderna.
