Up next – sequencing for vaccine development
A link to the section ahead discussing the use of sequencing for vaccine development and trials
Sequencing doesn’t just give us information about the virus. It can also inform vaccine trials, and it can guide therapeutic design. It’s important that we know that our vaccines are safe and effective, not only against the predominant variant in circulation, but also safe and effective against emerging variants of concern.
Now that you have more understanding about how vaccines work, and how these were developed for SARS-CoV-2, in the next section we will look at how sequencing is useful for vaccine development and trials.
