"If we're elevating antibodies, let's say threefold, that means they will last and protect for a year," Dolsten said. Non-spike proteins also mutate slower than the spike protein, which means that any T-cells generated against them will likely protect against a wide range of Covid variants.Empty vials of Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus disease children's vaccines are pictured at Skippack Pharmacy in Schwenksville, Pennsylvania, U.S., May 19, 2022.
