Moderna says its booster highly protects against Omicron – at level higher than Pfizer vaccine

The Metro says Moderna has announced that its booster shot provides high protection against the new and surging coronavirus Omicron variant. The level of protection that Moderna reported is higher than what Pfizer had revealed about its own booster.

Lab results that Moderna released on Monday showed that a currently authorized 50-microgram third dose of its vaccine raised the neutralizing antibodies against Omicron by about 37-fold, versus having only the first two doses. A full dose of 100 micrograms increased antibodies 83-fold.

The preliminary data is ‘reassuring’, Moderna stated.
