T-cell vaccine for COVID-19 may last longer than current vaccines

The Pharma Data

The current COVID-19 vaccines are designed to trigger an antibody response to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which is vulnerable to mutations that could make the vaccine less effective over time. These epitopes elicit an immune response from a broad selection of T cells, ensuring a sustained coverage of future variants.
