Moderna submits data to FDA showing vaccine can potentially prevent infection, not just severe disease From CNN’s Nadia Kounang Nurse Kathe Olmstead prepares a shot on July 27 that is part of a possible COVID-19 vaccine, developed by the National Institutes of Health and Moderna Inc., in Binghamton, New York. Hans Pennink/AP/File Vaccine maker Moderna says its coronavirus shots don’t just prevent symptomatic disease, but can prevent infection in the first place.
