New kind of flu shot is on the way as the FDA approves Moderna’s mRNA-based vaccine
Moderna said the shot reduced flu cases by 27% in a 40,000-person study and won accelerated approval for seniors.
- In WASHINGTON, The FDA approved Moderna's new flu vaccine for adults age 50 or older, marking the first use of Nobel Prize-winning mRNA technology for influenza immunization.
- Vaccines developed with Nobel Prize-winning mRNA technology offer faster production timelines than traditional methods, enabling Moderna to adapt quickly if the flu virus mutates.
- A study of 40,000 people aged 50 to 64 found the vaccine reduced flu cases by about 27%, while The FDA granted accelerated approval for people 65 or older.
- Following a public dispute earlier this year involving Health Secretary Robert Kennedy and The FDA, Moderna expects the vaccine available soon at select retailers.
- While the shot caused temporary reactions like injection site pain, Moderna data showed no major safety issues, providing a new option for Americans ahead of fall vaccination season.
