"To much of the world, it seemed like the Covid-19 vaccines were whipped up in
less than a year—an amazing feat of science and biotechnology if ever there was
one. While the vaccines did get fast-tracked through clinical trial and
regulatory approval phases, the truth is that the technology behind the Pfizer
and Moderna vaccines—mRNA—had been in the works for decades. Now Moderna is
leveraging that same technology to fight several other viruses.

This week Moderna announced plans to develop vaccines against 15 different
pathogens that either have the potential to cause a pandemic or are an ongoing
thorn in humanity’s side. Among them are chikungunya, dengue, ebola, malaria,
and Covid’s predecessor, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)."
