(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/scienrds/scienceandnerds/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Source: https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/1\/27\/22904296\/moderna-covid-vaccine-omicron-variant-trial<\/a> Moderna gave its omicron-specific COVID-19 vaccine to the first participant in a clinical trial, the company announced<\/a> Wednesday. The report comes a few days after Pfizer \/ BioNTech launched a trial<\/a> of its shot targeting the fast-spreading variant. <\/p>\n The announcement coincides with the release of data<\/a> showing that the two-dose series of Moderna\u2019s original vaccine struggled to block the omicron variant of the virus, which has mutations that help it dodge those antibodies. A booster shot restored much of its ability to neutralize the virus \u2014 and while that protection weakened over time, it still stuck around for at least six months. <\/p>\n Still, Moderna CEO St\u00e9phane Bancel said in a statement<\/a> that the omicron variant is enough of a threat that the company plans to move forward with the variant booster. <\/p>\n The company is testing its omicron booster in one group of people who received a two-dose series of the original vaccine only and a second group who had a two-dose series and booster of the original vaccine. There will be around 300 participants in each group. <\/p>\n Bancel said in early January that Moderna could have data on the omicron booster ready by March.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
