A new study shows COVID vaccines given in fall and winter 2025-2026 protected older adults from symptomatic illness with 55% effectiveness. The findings highlight a powerful tool many vulnerable seniors are missing out on.
Getting vaccinated just got simpler for millions. European regulators approved the world's first single-shot vaccine that protects against both COVID-19 and seasonal flu for people 50 and older.
Scientists at Stanford Medicine have developed a breakthrough nasal spray vaccine that protects against multiple respiratory threats at once, from COVID-19 and flu to bacterial infections and even allergies. In mice, the experimental vaccine provided months of broad protection by supercharging the lungs' natural defenses instead of targeting specific pathogens.
A major new study of 434 children brings reassuring news for pregnant mothers: getting the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine during pregnancy shows no link to autism or developmental delays. The research tracked children up to 30 months old and found identical outcomes whether mothers received the vaccine or not.
A massive study of nearly 14 million children in England just settled a heated debate. COVID infection poses a higher risk of heart problems than the vaccine ever did.

A major Swedish study tracking nearly 60,000 women found no link between COVID-19 vaccination and reduced fertility, putting to rest persistent social media rumors. The research offers reassuring news for anyone who delayed vaccination due to pregnancy concerns.
A groundbreaking study of over 1 million veterans reveals that COVID vaccines significantly protect against heart attacks and strokes—even beyond preventing the virus itself. The findings could mean preventing thousands of cardiac events and deaths annually.
Updated COVID vaccines continue protecting hearts, reducing cardiovascular events by 38% and potentially preventing thousands of deaths. A study of over 1 million veterans reveals benefits extend far beyond preventing infection alone.
A rigorous study of 434 toddlers finds no connection between mRNA COVID vaccines during pregnancy and autism or developmental delays. The research offers strong reassurance for expectant mothers making vaccine decisions.
Scientists in Tokyo just made painless, self-administered vaccine patches that work better and stay stable without refrigeration. This breakthrough could help deliver life-saving vaccines to people everywhere, especially in areas without access to cold storage.
Nigeria's ambitious COVID-19 vaccination campaign didn't just protect millions from the virus. It rebuilt the nation's entire immunization infrastructure from the ground up.
mRNA vaccines prevented eight million COVID infections in their first six months and now show promise for treating cancer. Despite recent political setbacks, scientists remain confident this breakthrough technology will transform medicine.
The FDA reversed its decision and will now review Moderna's groundbreaking mRNA flu vaccine, marking a potential leap forward in flu prevention. This could bring the same technology that revolutionized COVID vaccines to seasonal flu shots.
Moderna has agreed to pay Roivant up to $2.25 billion to settle a patent lawsuit over its groundbreaking Covid-19 vaccine technology. The settlement could become one of the largest in patent history while keeping life-saving vaccine innovation moving forward.
A new flu vaccine using the same technology that powered COVID shots just proved more effective than traditional options in a 40,000-person study. The breakthrough could reshape how we protect ourselves from seasonal flu.
Scientists in Singapore developed a nose spray vaccine booster that creates stronger, longer-lasting protection against COVID-19 and related viruses than traditional shots. The breakthrough could mean fewer booster shots and better protection for vulnerable populations.
Scientists at Stanford Medicine have developed a nasal spray vaccine that protects mice against flu, COVID, allergies, and other respiratory threats for months. If it works in humans, one spray each fall could replace multiple annual shots.
Scientists at Stanford Medicine have developed a revolutionary nasal spray vaccine that protects against multiple respiratory threats at once. In mice, the single spray defended against COVID-19, flu, bacterial pneumonia, and even allergies for months.
