- Moderna has developed a new mRNA vaccine effective against both flu and Covid-19, demonstrating a strong immune response in individuals over 50.
- In a Phase III study with 8,000 participants, the combination vaccine mRNA-1083 showed equal or superior immune response compared to individual vaccines.
- The immune response against Influenza A was better than traditional vaccines, while the response to Influenza B was comparable.
- The combination of flu and Covid-19 vaccination could help improve vaccination rates, which are currently low in Germany.
"The data shows that the combination vaccine mRNA-1083 even induces somewhat better immune reactions than the two individual vaccinations."— Carsten Watzl, immunologist at the Leibniz Institute for Labor Research at TU Dortmund, commented on the results of the Phase III clinical study.

- Researchers from Sydney discovered that a second vaccination in the same arm accelerates the immune response.
- Macrophages in the local lymph nodes are activated by the first vaccination, facilitating faster antibody production during a booster in the same arm.
- Immune cells remaining on-site after previous vaccinations can enhance the response to the booster, leading to quicker antibody formation.
- Despite the advantages of vaccination in the same arm, receiving the booster is crucial regardless of the arm used.
"One knows that macrophages detect pathogenic microbes and clear dead cells, but we were able to show that the cells in the lymph nodes near the injection site have other important functions."— Rama Dhenni, lead author of the study, in a press release.

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: abc.net.au
- A study indicates that the shingles vaccine can lower dementia risk by 20 percent.
- Researchers found that the protective effects of the vaccine surpass those of existing dementia medications.
- Two potential mechanisms for this protection include reduced virus reactivations and an enhanced immune response.
- Further research is needed to understand the exact mechanisms and the influence of sex on vaccine efficacy.
"If the shingles vaccine really prevents or delays dementia, then this would be a hugely important finding for clinical medicine, population health, and research into the causes of dementia."— Dr. Pascal Geldsetzer, lead author of the study discussing the protective effects of the vaccine.
