FIVE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT: MRNA VACCINES The race for a vaccine against the novel coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2, is on, with 54 different vaccines under development, two of which are already being tested in humans, according to the World Health Organization. And among the different candidates is a new player on the scene – mRNA vaccines. FIVE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT: MRNA VACCINE SAFETY The world’s first mRNA vaccine has begun its rollout after being produced at unprecedented speed as part of the global effort to end the Covid-19 pandemic. A second one is hot on its heels. The two – one made by Pfizer/BioNTech and the other by Moderna – mark the first time this vaccine technology has been approved for use.

Bird-like robots could assist in medical emergencies and hunt down drones. Inspired by nature, new prototypes can flap, glide and perch. HOW VULNERABLE GROUPS WERE LEFT BEHIND IN PANDEMIC Viruses like Covid-19 make no distinction between those they infect. They should in theory cause disease in the rich just as they do the poor and pay no heed to social status or cultural background. But in practice the pandemic has widened the gulf between vulnerable groups and other populations in Europe rather than helping to level out inequalities in society, researchers warn. COVID-19 VARIANTS: FIVE THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT HOW The Sars-CoV-2 virus is changing in ways that are making it more transmissible, increasing the severity of disease it causes and allowing it to infect people who should have immunity.
