A pan-Coronavirus vaccine is the "ultimate answer" to any potential Covid-19 mutation, such as the XE variant which has been discovered recently, Professor Luke O'Neill has said.
Professor O'Neill, who is a Professor of Biochemistry at Trinity College, was speaking this morning on RTE radio about the new variants.
"The holy grail is to get a pan-Coronavirus vaccine which will work against any variant and stop the virus transmitting as well. That's the real dream vaccine. Several of those are in development," Prof O'Neill told host Phillip Boucher Hayes.
