The authors of the study attribute the high rate of vaccination in part to extensive [...] despite the pandemic. High willingness to vaccinate Two-thirds of those participating in the study rated their risk of infection as low to moderate. "This does not mean that their risk of infection is actually

"This is a great success, because most genetic diseases can [...] and more efficient because we can do without the viral vector, and possibly increases the success rate to 30 to 40 per cent," Dr. Krooss hopes. If this succeeds and the application then also works in humans
