Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Medicine is recruiting volunteers to take part in a new study aimed at assessing the efficacy of the Moderna bivalent Covid-19 vaccine in protecting against new sub-variants of the Omicron virus and whether or not it should be recommended as an alternative booster shot in Thailand.
In an announcement made online by virologist Yong Poovorawan, the Moderna bivalent is now being recommended in Western countries as a seasonal booster shot considering its proven protection against the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron sub-variants as well the older strains of the Covid-19 virus.
