European Medicines Agency clears Pfizer-BioNTech's tweaked Covid booster

The European Medicines Agency has recommended the authorisation of a tweaked booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine that includes protection against two of the latest versions of omicron, as countries look to bolster their immunisation programs ahead of winter. The EU regulator said Monday that laboratory studies suggest the combination vaccine which targets both the original COVID-19 virus as well as the omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 should trigger an effective immune response. The vaccine is expected to be as safe as the original version, but the agency will continue to track its rollout globally since the data is limited. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave the modified vaccine shot the green light last month.

Moderna sues Pfizer, BioNTech over patents behind Covid-19 vaccine

COVID-19 vaccine maker Moderna is suing Pfizer and the German drugmaker BioNTech, accusing its main competitors of copying Moderna's technology in order to make their own vaccine. Moderna said on Friday that Pfizer and BioNTech's vaccine Comirnaty infringes on patents Moderna filed several years ago protecting the technology behind its preventive shot, Spikevax. The company filed patent infringement lawsuits in both US federal court and a German court. A Pfizer spokeswoman declined to comment, saying the company had not been served with a copy of the litigation. Moderna and Pfizer's two-shot vaccines both use mRNA technology to help patients fight the coronavirus. The mRNA vaccines work by injecting a genetic code for the spike protein that coats the surface of the coronavirus. That code, the mRNA, is encased in a little ball of fat, and instructs the body's cells to make some harmless spike copies that train the immune system to recognise the real virus.
