A more effective vaccine technology may be on the horizon. In a new study in mice, researchers from the University of Copenhagen demonstrate that a simple addition to mRNA vaccines can significantly enhance their effectiveness. The innovation could become a powerful tool in the next pandemic. The next step is human trials.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, it wasn’t just face masks that became part of everyday conversation—so did a new vaccine technology: the mRNA vaccine.

As the first of its kind, the COVID-19 vaccine was developed using mRNA technology, which proved both highly effective against the virus a...
