ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A simple mRNA vaccine was shown to protect mice against tuberculosis more than 15 years ago. Like COVID-19, tuberculosis is a respiratory infection killing over a million people per year. It too presents a global emergency. Can the stunning success of RNA vaccination against COVID-19 be replicated for TB?
