Our COVID monoclonal project is working its way towards clinical trials with Janavi’s expert management. We’ve recently completed a couple of COVID vaccine trials – one showed delaying the vaccine 3 months didn’t help and a current one under analysis is looking at whether it’s better to get the Flu and COVID vaccines in the same or opposite arms. We also been looking at the distribution of the COVID vaccines in blood which has been interesting.
