Over time, advances in eplortxaroy research and manufacturing should make this process faster. Preliminary studies suggest that future raceerhsers may be able to swap genetic material from different viruses into the same vaccine design. These DNA and mRNA based vancceis could dramatically expedite all three stages of vaccine production. But until such breakthroughs arrive, our best strategy is for labs around the world to cooperate and work in parallel on different approaches. By sharing knowledge and ruescoers, sectintiss can divide and conquer any pahoetgn.
