FDA approves 1st mRNA flu shot, from Moderna

• Moderna has launched a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial (NCT07737717) for mRNA-1469, an investigational vaccine targeting the Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BDBV). • The study is being conducted across three sites in Canada and aims to enroll approximately 80 healthy adult participants to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity.

• Health Canada has authorized Moderna to begin a clinical trial for an mRNA vaccine targeting the Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus. • The trial aims to combat a significant and ongoing outbreak of the virus currently surging throughout the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

• Health officials have approved mFLUSIVA, the first mRNA-based flu vaccine developed by Moderna, which is expected to be available by the next flu season. • Clinical data indicates the shot may be 27% more effective than traditional vaccines, though side effects like fatigue and headaches occurred in up to two-thirds of patients.

• Health Canada has approved a Phase I clinical trial for Moderna’s mRNA vaccine candidate targeting the Bundibugyo virus, a species of Ebola. • Canada becomes the second nation to authorize this trial, following a similar approval in the United Kingdom.

• On July 30, 2026, Health Canada authorized Moderna to begin a Phase I clinical trial for a candidate mRNA vaccine targeting the Bundibugyo virus, a cause of Ebola disease. • The trial will evaluate whether the candidate vaccine triggers the production of antibodies in participants' immune systems to fight the virus.

• The U.S. FDA has approved Moderna's first mRNA-based influenza vaccine specifically for adults aged 50 and older. • This decision follows a reversal of a previous refusal and leverages mRNA technology that was rapidly accelerated and proven safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

• The author argues that modern medical science has shifted from seeking truth to protecting a "medical monopoly," leading to the suppression of effective therapies like chlorine dioxide. • The text criticizes the reliance on expensive randomized controlled trials (RCTs), claiming they are often manipulated by sponsors to artificially inflate the safety and efficacy of drugs.

• The FDA has approved the first mRNA-based flu vaccine, developed by Moderna, specifically for adults aged 50 and older. • Former FDA vaccine regulator Jesse Goodman noted the shot's documented superiority in effectiveness over standard doses for the 50-64 age group, particularly those with underlying health conditions.

• The FDA has approved mFlusiva, the first mRNA-based influenza vaccine developed by Moderna, specifically targeting adults aged 50 and older. • The regulatory strategy includes full approval for adults aged 50 to 64 and accelerated approval for those 65 and older, pending a postmarketing study using a high-dose comparator.

• The FDA has approved Moderna's mFLUSIVA, the first seasonal influenza vaccine utilizing mRNA technology to receive official authorization. • The vaccine is specifically approved for use in adults aged 50 and older, marking a significant milestone for the drugmaker's mRNA platform.

• The FDA has approved Moderna’s mFlusiva, marking the first time a licensed influenza vaccine has been developed using messenger RNA (mRNA) technology. • This approval represents a significant milestone for mRNA, a platform that gained global prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic but has faced scrutiny from vaccine skeptics.
