The WBAA Classical 101.3 and WBAA News 105.9 tower will be undergoing major work starting on March 7th to enhance and strengthen the tower. The work is expected to continue until approximately March 30th. Most of the work will be done while the stations are at full power, but there will be times where we will need to reduce power or be off the air so that crews can work safely. We thank you for your patience while this work is completed. You can still listen to WBAA Classical and WBAA News online or via the WBAA mobile app.

Promising new Moderna booster targets multiple COVID-19 strains

Published April 20, 2022 at 12:52 PM EDT

By fall there could be a new type of COVID-19 booster shot that would target more than one strain of the disease. Preliminary data show that the new shot, being developed by Moderna, produces more antibodies than its current booster.

But there are still questions about the new shot, including whether those extra antibodies will be better at preventing serious infections and hospitalizations.

STAT reporter Matthew Herper is writing about the new booster and joins host Celeste Headless to discuss the issue.
