Vaccinforskning om hantavirus lyfter Moderna – ”Tidigt skede”

Efter utbrottet av hantavirus ombord på kryssningsfartyget Hondius har uppmärksamheten riktats mot vaccin- och biotechsektorn. Flera bolag med koppling till infektionssjukdomar, däribland Moderna, har stigit på den amerikanska börsen – trots att experter tonat ned risken för bred smittspridning.
