Clinical trials show two-in-one jab may bring about higher immune responses than separate inoculations

 

A combined flu and coronavirus vaccine brings about a higher immune response to both diseases than when the vaccines are administered separately, a clinical trial has shown.

 

Moderna, the biotech firm behind the Spikevax vaccine used in [U.K.] NHS booster programmes, is trialling a two-in-one jab that can also protect from the flu. Initial results have shown it may be better at protecting against them than what is now being used.

 

The results showed that the antibody response in the participants brought about higher immune responses against flu and Covid-19 than when the vaccines were administered separately.

 

The company said they hoped the vaccine would be made widely available as early as next year.
