US research says mRNA vaccine against covid may help patients with some cancer live longer

Co-author Dr Adam Grippin said the researchers discovered that 'commercially available mRNA covid vaccines can train patients’ immune systems to eliminate cancer'.

People with some types of cancer lived longer if they received an mRNA vaccine against covid-19 than if they had not, a “really exciting” American research project has suggested. 

The mNRA vaccine is the same type of covid-19 vaccine that the HSE uses and is being offered as part of the winter vaccination campaign.
