Anyone know if the similar mRNA process can be used to create vaccine for normal FLU virus.

The same process can be used to target vaccines for other protein structures.

So there is still the work to find a suitable target on the flu virus. Much of the science on the SARS 2 virus benefitted from the work that had been done on SARS.

I believe that's what they were working towards. I have said it before but I believe that this might be the start of something paradigm shift big like antibiotics were. look at the plague being treatable by antibiotics but before that it was a huge death sentence. time will tell.
I don’t recall where, but there’s some optimism we can create a universal vaccine for all corona viruses. Maybe we can finally cure the common cold.
