Moderna Says COVID Vaccine Shows Promise Against Variants

(Cambridge, MA) -- Moderna says its two-dose vaccine is showing promise in a lab setting protecting against COVID-19 variants.  

That includes the highly contagious Delta variant. The pharmaceutical company said results were based off of eight participants one week after they received the second dose of the vaccine.  

The company's announcement comes as the Delta strain spreads rapidly around the world.

In the U.S., the prevalence of variant cases is doubling about every two weeks.
