Moderna kembangkan vaksin hantavirus usai kematian di kapal pesiar

Moderna mengonfirmasi bahwa mereka tengah mengerjakan vaksin mRNA untuk hantavirus menyusul wabah mematikan di sebuah kapal pesiar Belanda. Upaya yang bermitra dengan Korea University ini telah dimulai sejak 2023 dan menunjukkan hasil yang menjanjikan, namun masih membutuhkan waktu bertahun-tahun untuk diselesaikan.

Perusahaan farmasi asal Amerika Serikat, Moderna, telah berkolaborasi dengan Vaccine Innovation Center di Korea University College of Medicine dalam pengembangan vaksin mRNA yang menyasar hantavirus sejak tahun 2023. Proyek ini menarik perhatian setelah wabah melanda MV Hondius, kapal asal Belanda yang berlayar dari Argentina dan tiba di Kepulauan Canary pada 10 Mei. Setidaknya tiga penumpang meninggal dunia dan beberapa lainnya menderita penyakit serius selama insiden tersebut.
