The French pharmaceutical major Sanofi SA said Friday that it is collaborating with Translate Bio Inc. to develop a new mRNA vaccine candidate against Covid-19.

The U.S. therapeutics company Translate Bio and Sanofi will research and develop "multiple candidates with the goal of advancing an efficacious and safe SARS-CoV-2 vaccine into clinical development," Sanofi said.

It is the second collaboration related to a new Covid-19 vaccine candidate for Sanofi after it in February started working with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority.
