Abstract

The disclosure relates to ribonucleic acid (RNA) vaccines and combination vaccines, as well as methods of using the vaccines and compositions comprising the vaccines. Specific embodiments relate to RNA betacoronavirus vaccines formulated in a lipid nanoparticle.

Claims (1)

1. A vaccine comprising a ribonucleic acid (RNA) formulated in a lipid nanoparticle comprising 20-60 mol % ionizable cationic lipid, 5-25 mol % neutral lipid, 25-55 mol % cholesterol, and 0.5-15 mol % PEG-modified lipid, wherein the RNA is not self-replicating, and wherein the RNA comprises an open reading frame comprising nucleosides consisting of N1-methylpseudouridine, adenosine, guanosine, and cytidine, wherein the open reading frame encodes a full-length betacoronavirus (BetaCoV) S protein.
