First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a new booster vaccine called PHH-1V81, designed to target recent COVID-19 variants. About 900 adults who had already received mRNA vaccines got either the new booster or an existing one. Researchers checked for side effects and measured immune responses to see if the new booster is safe and works as well as current options.
