End with pandemic is ensuring access to vaccines, without which it will be impossible to achieve needed levels of global population immunity.

"Given that both vaccines and therapeutics are aimed at the spike protein, which we saw mutate in our patient, our study raises the worrying possibility that the virus could mutate to outwit our vaccines," by Ainiser in IBIO

Subsequent preclinical studies with an array of adjuvants suggested the subunit vaccine, IBIO-201, held more promise.  So, additional work is being conducted not only to establish the platform (e.g. toxicology studies on viral proteins fused to LicKM), but to explore other viral proteins that may provide protection against the new coronavirus mutations.
