mRNA vaccine

A study out of UF and MD Anderson Cancer Center shows patients with advanced lung or skin cancer taking certain drugs lived longer if they also got a COVID shot within 100 days of starting treatment.

As lawmakers prepare legislation to roll back mandates, the surgeon general has floated going one step further: banning mRNA vaccines. Medical experts say that would have public health implications.

Speaking with a Houston physician, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo says he doesn't want mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in the state.

The approach, which mimics how the body responds to a virus, could pave the way for a universal cancer vaccine.
