Moderna stated that they're working on a booster shot that will be more effective on mutated COVID strains.
The company is currently working on two boosters, one for the South African variant and one for emerging strains. The company says that its current vaccine still offers substantial protection from COVID variants.
According to Stephane Bancel, Moderna CEO stated
"Out of an abundance of caution and leveraging the flexibility of our mRNA platform, we are advancing an emerging variant booster candidate against the variant first identified in the Republic of South Africa into the clinic to determine if it will be more effective to boost titers against this and potentially future variants."
