Innovations in Vaccine Research and Development: a Labroots Video

Presented By: Matt Mckenna Sr. Field Applications Scientist, Thermo Fisher Scientific Ketil Pedersen Manager & Staff Scientist, Thermo Fisher Scientific Laura Chapman Staff Scientist, Thermo Fisher Scientific Alexander "Sasha" Vlassov Senior Manager R&D at Thermo Fisher Scientific Webinar: Innovations in Vaccine Research and Development Webinar Abstract: Reducing the spread of highly infectious and deadly diseases within the population, vaccine development is crucial in saving millions of lives each year. As a part of the scientific community working on novel vaccines, you are connected to a legacy that began with breakthroughs in the 18th century, and continues to break the boundaries of precision medicine. Join our Thermo Fisher scientists as we give an overview of vaccine platforms and attributes, and discuss new vaccine research and development workflows in relation to SARS-CoV-2. Emphasis will be placed on the tools and workflows enabling rapid progress in vaccine development: innovative plasmid purification kits, RNA and DNA purification kits and reagents, and next gen protein expression systems. A live Q&A session will follow as we explore various solutions that support research in vaccine development.

Pfizer said an updated version of its COVID-19 vaccine will be 'ready in 100 days' if the new Omicron variant is resistant to its current vaccine

Pfizer said it will be able to manufacture and distribute an updated version of its COVID-19 vaccine within 100 days if the new variant Omicron is found to be resistant to its current vaccine. Scientists first detected the new variant in South Africa. It has since spread to several other countries, including Israel and Belgium, prompting a spate of travel restrictions across Europe, Asia, and North America , Insider's Aria Bendix reported . A health official said on Saturday that two cases of the variant have been detected in the UK . The variant itself has multiple mutations that might make it easier for it to evade antibodies that developed in the body after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. The mutations might also cause the variant to spread easily — even among vaccinated people . The World Health Organization has labeled Omicron a " variant of concern ," a distinction given to the most threatening coronavirus variants. Delta, the v...

Texas governor bans vaccine passports from being required in state ABC News

Thats Right States like Texas and Florida got the Vaccine Passport Conspiracy from Del Bigtree. https://abc7.com/politics/texas-governor-bans-vaccine-passport-requirement-in-state/10491161/ AUSTIN, Texas -- Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order Tuesday morning prohibiting state agencies or political subdivisions in Texas from creating a "vaccine passport" requirement. Conversation has grown around vaccine passports recently as an option that can be used for travel or even eating out . They are typically described as an app with a code that verifies if someone has been vaccinated or recently tested negative for COVID-19. They're already in use in Israel, and in development in parts of Europe. But Abbott shut that down as an option in the Lone Star State with Executive Order No. GA - 35 also prohibiting "organizations receiving public funds from requiring consumers to provide documentation of vaccine status in order to receive any service or enter any place....
