Current SARS-CoV-2 variants evade immune responses induced by approved vaccines. In this study, the authors find that a recombinant prefusion-stabilized Beta spike protein vaccine confers broad neutralization capacity in mice and non-human primates as well as protective antibody and immune memory responses.
