"MRNA vaccines, together with other COVID-19 vaccines, have been administered over 13 billion times. Together they have saved millions of lives, prevented severe COVID-19, reduced the overall disease burden and enabled societies to open up again," said Thomas Perlmann, member of the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute.
Dr. Katalin Kariko and Dr. Drew Weissman are shown on April 15 in Los Angeles, at the Ninth Breakthrough Prize Ceremony at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
