NEW PUBLICATION! Check out this work in Nature Portfolio Communications quantifying the impact of a broadly protective sarbecovirus vaccine in a future SARS-X pandemic 👇 doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Quantifying the impact of a broadly protective sarbecovirus vaccine in a future SARS-X pandemic - Nature Communications

Broad-spectrum vaccines have been proposed as a tool for rapid response to emerging infectious disease threats and are in pre-clinical development. Here, the authors use mathematical modelling to assess the potential impacts of broadly protective sarbecovirus vaccines for a hypothetical “SARS-X” outbreak.
