mRNA vaccines together with other COVID-19 vaccines have been administered over
13 billion times. Together they have saved millions of lives, prevented severe COVID-19, reduced the overall disease burden and enabled societies to open up again, Rickard Sandberg, a member of the Nobel Prize
in medicine committee, via statement.
The impressive flexibility and speed with which mRNA vaccines can be developed pave the way for using the new platform also for vaccines against other infectious diseases, Nobel Prize committee, via statement.

CDC Report Shows That , 13.9% of US Adults , Have Received an Updated COVID Vaccine.
ABC reports that as of November 13, approximately
36 million adults in the United States have
received an updated COVID-19 vaccine.
According to new data from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, about 3.5 million
children have also received an updated shot. .
Compared to 2022, that figure is roughly equal
to the number of Americans who received
a bivalent booster by this time of the year. .
ABC points out that the numbers mean that only
13.9% of adults in the U.S. have been vaccinated.
In September, a poll conducted by the KFF COVID-19
Vaccine Monitor suggested that nearly twice as
many adults said they planned to get the vaccine.
According to that poll, 23% of adults said they were
"definitely" planning on getting the updated booster,
while another 23% said they would "probably" get one.
The latest vaccine targets variants
currently in circulation, which are an offshoot
of the Omicron variant known as XBB.
Both Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna have formulations
intended for people six months and older,
while Novavax offers a dose for those over the age of 12.

According to public health experts, people should
receive respiratory virus vaccines by the end of
October, but it's never too late. .
This year's numbers, aligning more
closely with pre-COVID patterns, indicate
a reestablishment of typical 'cold and flu'
season dynamics. However, we still have
to see how the rest of the respiratory
virus season plays out to know for sure, Dr. John Brownstein, epidemiologist and chief
innovation officer at Boston Children's Hospital, via ABC
