The mRNA-1083 vaccine (Moderna), an investigational combination designed to prevent influenza and COVID-19, achieved hemagglutination inhabitation antibody titers similar to or greater than the 2 licensed quadrivalent influenza vaccines, according to results from a phase 1/2 trial (NCT05827926). Furthermore, the investigational vaccine also achieved SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody titers similar to the Spikevax (Moderna) bivalent booster.1 […]

The newly reported study showed that a single dose of the vaccine, administered to […]

Studies of wastewater have turned up one of the weirdest observations yet about COVID. Most of the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 is happening within a small fraction of infected people who, for some reason, don’t clear the virus for months on end. These persistent infections could be a clue to the way new variants emerge, what causes […]

For sufferers of sleep apnea, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines may guard against having a second heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular crisis, but they have to use it consistently, a new study finds. CPAP works by keeping your airways open during sleep, but because it requires wearing a mask, many people find it […]
