Taiwan’s indigenously developed Medigen COVID-19 vaccine is as effective in preventing deaths and serious symptoms as mRNA shots, a study to be published in the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s journal next month showed.

An early release of the study is available on the Web site of the Emerging Infectious Diseases journal.
