mRNA-1283 is a COVID-19 vaccine candidate developed by Moderna.[2][3]
Compared to prior mRNA vaccines, this candidate has a storage temperature of 2-5 °C, compatible with vaccine storage in a standard refrigerator, rather than low temperature freezers.[4] Additionally, the vaccine will be packaged in prefilled syringes, reducing burden on healthcare workers and potentially increasing access.[5]
