@trent_munro @moderna_tx A very promising partnership for Australian domestic and regional pandemic vaccine security! We welcome the opportunity to extend the @moderna_tx mRNA vaccine technology to confront regionally important infectious diseases.

@trent_munro A very insightful vision of whatā€™s needed from @trent_munro ......ā€although Munro is passionate about Queenslandā€™s potential, he believes more can be achieved from the MMI through countrywide collaborationsā€. A Team Australia approach is the smoothest path to success..

@GildaTachedjian @BurnetInstitute After being puzzled by GALV during my PhD studies pre-HIV, the story has come a long way connecting to KoRV and bats! I still wonder about seeing GALV positive RNA blots from a patient leukemia tissue sample in the pre-PCR era. Could a related GammaRV infect humans???

@angew_chem @MonashCfb @clirspec @MonashUni It was great to work on the virology for this project with the Monash team. This is as far into StarTrek territory as I've boldly gone.....

@AFox_Perth Hereā€™s hoping this is just the first mRNA-LNP vaccine you will receive in coming years, but the next ones will be made in Australia!

@DanielAndrewsMP I had a T4 burst fracture in Jan 19, ICU, surgery and recovery under the care of the amazing team at Alfred Hospital. I can relate to your enthusiasm returning to whatā€™s been off limits for the past months. My advice - take small steps, carry a cushion and befriend Panadol Osteo!

@moderna_tx This is great news for protecting vulnerable Australians hoping for rapid access to an mRNA vaccine. Establishing mRNA manufacturing in Australia is the best part of this announcement!!

New vaccine facility to be built in Victoria, but how long until mRNA vaccines are produced in Australia?
