Advances in mRNA vaccines for viral diseases

J Med Virol. 2023 Jul;95(7):e28924. doi: 10.1002/jmv.28924.

Abstract

Since the onset of the pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines have demonstrated outstanding performance. mRNA vaccines offer significant advantages over conventional vaccines in production speed and cost-effectiveness, making them an attractive option against other viral diseases. This article reviewed recent advances in viral mRNA vaccines and their delivery systems to provide references and guidance for developing mRNA vaccines for new viral diseases.

Keywords: delivery systems; mRNA vaccines; viral diseases.
