Late last month, tens of thousands of Japanese citizens took to the streets to protest the government’s plan to rollout a ‘self-amplifying’ mRNA COVID vaccine, which experts have warned lacks long-term safety data.
Japanese regulators approved the ARCT-154 shot in November 2023. As per an article in The Defender, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare gave the green-light to ARCT-154, the world’s first self-amplifying mRNA COVID-19 vaccine for adults. This vaccine is jointly manufactured by the biotechnology firm CSL and Arcturus Therapeutics.
