What will be fascinating is in a few years down the line when we start seeing new mRNA vaccines for flu. There’s a good chance that they’ll be effective against multiple, perhaps most… perhaps all… dominant flu strains all at once. There is at least very good reason to believe that they’ll be significantly more effective than our current flu vaccines.
mRNA technology is in its infancy and may well end up being a game changer in terms of virology.
