What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

mRNA-1403 and mRNA-1405 vaccines

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to the first approved vaccine to prevent norovirus, a highly contagious stomach bug causing severe vomiting and diarrhea.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 1/2 trial focused on safety and immune response, not yet proving the vaccine prevents illness. Side effects like injection site pain or fever are possible.
