In a study, Pfizer and BioNTech's vaccine worked against lab-made coronaviruses similar to variants spreading in the UK and South Africa.

The partners agree they will continue to monitor emerging strains and verify the vaccine's effectiveness. Meanwhile, they are developing a booster shot that protects against coronavirus variants.
