Emerging mRNA vaccine strategies target cancer and pathogenic viruses in potent new ways
The technology that gave the world mRNA COVID vaccines is being tested in a variety of new ways, and emerging research reveals that a crucial T-cell population can be reprogrammed in animal models by reimagining the science that was introduced to the public at the height of the p
Three-in-one vaccine shows promise against 'tripledemic'
Flu season is no longer just flu season. Since 2022, the health care community has faced what's known as a "tripledemic" of seasonal influenza, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). That may mean the flu shot needs to become more than a flu shot.
Same day administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines not associated with increase in
A target trial emulation found that same-day coadministration of the COVID-19 and influenza vaccines was not associated with a higher risk of serious or clinically meaningful adverse events compared with receiving only an influenza vaccine. Across multiple updated COVID-19 vaccin
Experimental vaccine for 'neglected disease' carried by hundreds of millions of people sho
For a vaccine to be effective, it must do two things. First, it must trigger an immune response. Second, the vaccine must train the body to remember the response so it can fight that same disease in the future. Now, new research shows that the only vaccine being tested to prevent
Efforts to end school vaccine mandates hit a wall in Florida
Every state, along with Washington, D.C., requires children to obtain certain vaccinations before they can attend school or childcare These mandates date back decades, and many public health experts consider them a foundational defense against infectious disease.
Repurposed epilepsy drug could be used to boost vaccine protection among elderly
A drug commonly used to treat epilepsy could be repurposed to significantly boost the response to vaccines in humans, helping protect those for whom the vaccine is less effective, such as older adults or immunocompromised people. A Cambridge-led team showed that the drug more tha
Billions of doses later: Global review confirms mRNA vaccines are safe, effective and full
A sweeping global review led by researchers at the University of British Columbia has found that mRNA vaccines—now administered billions of times worldwide—are safe and highly effective at preventing infectious diseases like COVID-19, and have potential applications for a range o
Mussel-inspired vaccine aims to close the immunization gap with long-lasting immune protec
A research team in Korea has developed a vaccine technology that delivers long-lasting immune protection from a single dose by applying the powerful underwater adhesion mechanism of mussels. The work is drawing attention not only for reducing the burden of repeat vaccination, but
COVID-19 vaccine boosters may help protect against future animal coronaviruses, research s
COVID-19 vaccine boosters not only protect against SARS-CoV-2—the virus behind the most recent pandemic—but may also help protect against some future coronaviruses that risk spreading from animals to humans, Cambridge researchers have shown.
BCG vaccine may rewire brain immunity, shift Alzheimer's markers over 12 months
New research led by Mass General Brigham investigators suggests that the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine—which is delivered through the skin to prevent tuberculosis—may remodel the human brain's immune environment, offering a potential biological explanation for previously
