A study found that Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine protects against different virus strains, including the delta variant, the company said in a Tuesday press release. The study utilized blood samples of eight individuals one week after receiving their second dose of the vaccine and found that it was effective in protecting against newly identified variants, according to Moderna’s statement. “We remain committed to studying emerging variants, generating data and sharing it as it becomes available,” said Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel. “These new data are encouraging and reinforce our belief that the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine should remain protective against newly detected variants.” The company said that the vaccine successfully protected against the Delta variant with a moderate dip in effectiveness.
