The field of vaccine development has seen remarkable progress, especially with the success of COVID-19 vaccines. Researchers are now leveraging new technologies to develop vaccines for other infectious diseases and even chronic conditions.
Key Developments:
- mRNA Technology: Used in COVID-19 vaccines, this technology is being explored for other vaccines due to its flexibility and rapid development potential.
- Universal Flu Vaccine: Efforts are underway to create a universal flu vaccine that provides long-lasting protection against multiple strains.
- Cancer Vaccines: Research is ongoing to develop vaccines that prevent or treat various cancers by targeting cancer-specific antigens.
