There could be vaccines for a wide range of conditions - including cancer by 2030 - according to Moderna’s chief executive.
The pharmaceutical firm said it is confident the jabs for cancer, cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases could be ready by the end of the decade – potentially saving “hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives”.
Dr Paul Burton, chief medical officer of Moderna, believes the firm will be able to offer such treatments for “all sorts of disease areas” in as little as five years.
