Rise and shine, everyone, another busy day is on the way. Although it may feel like a holiday season to some, the parade of new developments has not slowed, not even a wee bit. And so, we are marching to the Pharmalot cafeteria for still another cup of stimulation since our neurons need all the help they can get. Our choice today is maple bourbon. Feel free to join us. Meanwhile, as always, we have assembled a few items of interest as you begin your own journey. We hope all goes well today and that you are productive, as ever. And of course, do keep in touch. We always appreciate your postcards and telegrams…
Moderna (MRNA) disclosed that a booster shot of its coronavirus vaccine significantly raises the level of antibodies that can thwart the Omicron variant, The New York Times writes. The results show the currently authorized booster dose of 50 micrograms — half the dose given for primary immunization — increased the level of antibodies by roughly 37-fold. A full dose of 100 micrograms was even more powerful, raising antibody levels about 83-fold compared with pre-boost levels. The results are based on laboratory tests that do not capture the full range of the body’s immune response against the virus. The data have also not been published or reviewed by independent experts.
