Does the moderna vaccine offer enough protection against the south african variant?

Initial word is it does help prevent severe disease , but may not prevent acquiring the illness. There is work ongoing to create a Maderna booster that incorporates the changes found in the SA variant that may be ready this Fall.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. Do not hesitate in getting Modera or any other vaccine. All of these will protect against serious illness. If and when a specific booster vaccine becomes available take but do not wait for the perfect vaccine. Wish you good health!
