Summary
A new review published in The Lancet, led by researchers at the University of British Columbia, examines the body of evidence on mRNA COVID-19 vaccines six years after their debut. The review confirms that mRNA vaccines are safe and effective, that serious side effects are rare, and that the same mRNA platform is now being adapted to fight cancer and other diseases beyond COVID-19.

· 3 pulledA new review published in The Lancet has now gone through the body of evidence on what these vaccines did, what they didn't do, and where the technology is going next.
Led by researchers at the University of British Columbia, the review found that mRNA vaccines are safe and effective, that serious side effects are rare, and that the same platform now being used against COVID-19 is already being adapted to fight cancer.
Many people who received an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine had no idea what mRNA was. Some worried it would change their DNA, and others trusted the science without question.
