Just Ahead of Flu Season, FDA Approves First mRNA Vaccine for Older Adults
The FDA approved Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine mFLUSIVA for adults 50 to 64 and granted accelerated approval for ages 65+. In a phase 3 trial of over 40,000 adults, it was 26% more effective than a licensed standard-dose flu vaccine. Moderna said it generated stronger antibodies than Sanofi’s high-dose vaccine in older adults.
