New data from Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) and BioNTech’s (Nasdaq: BNTX) Comirnaty program show the firms’ updated jab produces antibodies against the latest variants of the coronavirus.

Early data from a Phase II/III trial show the Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent COVID-19 vaccine generated a substantial increase in neutralizing antibody responses, seven days after administration.
