Moderna's mRNA-based influenza vaccine was recently approved by FDA for adults 50 through 64 years of age. Its indication for persons 65 years of age and older is under accelerated approval (pending confirmatory trial). Per the prescribing information, this new vaccine encodes for the full-length HA glycoproteins of the 3 influenza virus strains represented in the vaccine. After delivery into cells, the mRNA serves as a template for the synthesis of the intended proteins. This is noteworthy due to the Trump administration's previous defunding of mRNA vaccine research, and Secretary of HHS Robert F. Kennedy Jr's adversarial approach to vaccines, particularly those which are mRNA-based. https://feeds.issuerdirect.com/news-release.html?newsid=4801915282452025&symbol=MRNA submitted by /u/Nerd-19958 [link] [comments]
