Existing COVID vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech should protect against new coronavirus variants, the companies have said.
Moderna announced on Monday that study results suggested its vaccine could neutralize the emerging variants, including the B.1.1.7 strain first identified in the U.K. and the B.1.351 strain first seen in South Africa.
The findings were submitted to bioRxiv, an online repository for biological science papers that have yet to be peer-reviewed and published. The study will now undergo more rigorous scrutiny.
