This is fantastic. Can't wait for Moderna to broaden their vaccine coverage substantially and also branch into new applications beyond vaccines.

I guess it remains to be seen if it leads to more profound side effects or not. Taking the Moderna shot for Covid always was 48 hours of hell. As someone who must avoid ibuprofen, it was a special case of hell. During that time, the body's defenses against other infections were also lowered, risking other infections. Seniors could have it worse. I hope it's worth the pain.

Sorry to hear that. Did you have a better reaction to the protein subunit vaccine (Novavax)?
