The White House on Tuesday held a summit with vaccine makers and scientists as it pushed for “next generation” Covid-19 vaccines that offer broader and more durable protection against the virus.
WASHINGTON, United States –
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the efforts would be based on two pillars: “pan-coronavirus” vaccines that would stand up to variants and “mucosal” vaccines that are delivered nasally to stop the virus where it enters.
