Oct. 15 Session
Registration opens Oct. 1The selected study presents important data about SARS-CoV-2 sequence diversity in infected individuals and provides evidence that a single-dose vaccine may be efficacious against the virus. Our presenter and panelists, with their diverse expertise, will lead an in-depth discussion of the findings and explore the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 over time by analyzing sequence diversity across 5,700 sequences sampled since December 2019. Based on the findings of the paper, the panelists will touch on some aspects of vaccine development efforts, as many of the vaccine candidates are in clinical trials.
A SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidate would likely match all currently circulating variants
