The development of a Covid-19/influenza combination vaccine could be advantageous to patients.
Moderna has announced positive Phase III data for its Covid-19/influenza combination vaccine, mRNA-1083. The investigational combination messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine generated statistically significant higher immune responses in relation to the licensed comparator vaccines used in the randomised, observer-blind, active control study among 8,000 adults ages 50 years and older. This development comes less than two weeks after Moderna received FDA approval for the first mRNA respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine, mRESVIA, further demonstrating the potential of mRNA technology in combatting infectious diseases.
mRNA-1083 combines the mRNA-1010 seasonal influenza vaccine candidate with the mRNA-1283 next-generation Covid-19 vaccine candidate. At this time, mRNA-1083 is poised to be the first Covid-19/influenza...
