New COVID booster vaccine shows promise in large trial

NCT ID NCT05710783

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a new COVID-19 booster vaccine called AVX/COVID-12, made from a modified Newcastle disease virus (which affects birds). Over 4,000 healthy adults in Mexico who had already been vaccinated against COVID-19 received either the new vaccine or the AstraZeneca booster. The goal was to see if the new vaccine triggers a similar immune response and is safe. The trial is now complete, and results are being analyzed.
