The great thing about mRNA vaccines is they are relatively easy to produce and can be adapted very quickly to this pandemic or others. Once confidence is established and safety concerns addressed, the thing about the technology is it's promise and the efficacy is extremely good with covid, even in older people. These could also make influenza vaccines in older people more effective in the future. The tools to rapidly map genomes and understanding them are evolving rapidly and the equipment for producing RNA and even DNA sequence strands is quite old. Moderna has made a breakthrough in the liposome packaging and strand stabilizing that will be useful, not just for covid, but a host of future vaccines that this technology can make cheaply and quickly. Multiple mRNA strands can be packed in a liposome to do various tasks, even in coordination.
