Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman were awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine “for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against Covid-19.”
The two scientists will share the 11 million-krona award, the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm said in a statement Monday.

The laureates are announced through Oct. 9 in Stockholm, with the exception of the peace prize, whose recipients are selected by the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo.Canada economic growth misses expectations, backing rate pause
