Moderna’s stock rides hantavirus fears as spotlight returns to infectious disease platform

While the company has early-stage hantavirus vaccine projects, its broader infectious disease pipeline has been reduced due to shifting U.S. government support and a focus on profitability. The hantavirus scare nonetheless provides an opportunity for Moderna to build goodwill and highlights the potential for changes in vaccine-related regulatory environments.
