Here’s what you need to know about the new Moderna COVID bivalent vaccine https://t.co/gx2R6aHsK6 via @wr_record

Protection wanes over time. Health Canada advises that if you haven’t had a shot or an infection in six months, you should look at getting a booster.

COVID-19 vaccine story accelerates 21st century science and power of international collaboration. The approval process must be above any political considerations and solely based on data from the clinical trials.
