Moderna avanza en la vacuna contra el hantavirus tras las muertes en un crucero

Moderna confirmó que sigue trabajando en una vacuna de ARNm contra el hantavirus tras un brote mortal en un crucero holandés. El esfuerzo, en colaboración con la Universidad de Corea, comenzó en 2023 y es prometedor, pero aún faltan años para su finalización.

La empresa farmacéutica estadounidense Moderna colabora desde 2023 con el Centro de Innovación en Vacunas de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Corea en una vacuna de ARNm dirigida al hantavirus. El proyecto cobró relevancia después de que un brote afectara al MV Hondius, un buque holandés que zarpó de Argentina y llegó a las Islas Canarias el 10 de mayo. Al menos tres pasajeros fallecieron y varios otros sufrieron enfermedades graves durante el incidente.
