Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer was recently asked about. Noting that the company is working on a cancer vaccination, a caller asked if they should invest in the stock. Cramer replied:

Well, I gotta tell you, this is something that they did promise a long time ago, and I hope that it’s for real… I do say that we have to wait and see. Why? Because the stock’s up so much, 54% for the year. I just want to know how certain things really are.
