A composition comprising:
- (a) a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) comprising an open reading frame (ORF) encoding a fusion protein, wherein the fusion protein comprises a Nipah virus F protein and a Nipah virus G protein;
- and
- (b) a lipid nanoparticle,
- wherein the lipid nanoparticle comprises 45-55 mol % ionizable lipid, 5-25 mol % neutral lipid, 35-45 mol % sterol, and 0.5-5 mol % polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified lipid,
- wherein the ionizable lipid is a compound of Formula (I):
