Global review confirms mRNA vaccines are safe, effective and full of promise 

A comprehensive global review published in The Lancet confirms that mRNA vaccines are safe and highly effective at preventing infectious diseases like COVID-19, with rare serious side effects that are outweighed by their protective benefits. The review, led by University of British Columbia researchers, synthesizes evidence from billions of doses administered worldwide and addresses common misconceptions, such as the false claim that mRNA vaccines alter human DNA. The findings support the expansion of mRNA technology into new medical applications, including vaccines for influenza and RSV, as well as personalized cancer treatments.
