I believe Nobels for mRNA vaccines will come next year or in the year after. There's no urgency when it comes to awarding Nobel Prizes.

- giarc 5y agoSome urgency since they don't give the award to people that have passed away.

- Zitrax 5y agoRelated: Here is an article investigating the delay between discovery and award: https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.5.2012/full/ https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.5.2012/full... As can be seen there the delay is often measured in decades. For medicine many awards around 20 years or more after discovery.
