Moderna said it is targeting regulatory approval for the shot in 2025.
Moderna on Tuesday announced that its combination shot for flu and COVID-19 is the first candidate to make it to late-stage trial.
The first participant has been dosed in the trial, which is expected to enroll about 8,000 people in the Northern Hemisphere, the company said on Tuesday. About half of participants will be ages 65 and older, while the other half will be ages 50 to 64.
The shot “has the potential to efficiently reduce the overall burden of acute viral respiratory diseases” by protecting against both COVID-19 and flu through a single injection, Moderna said in a press release. It “offers greater convenience and has the potential to lead to increased compliance with vaccine recommendations,” it added.
The shots won’t be available for this respiratory virus season, as Moderna said it is targeting regulatory approval for the shot in 2025.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has predicted that this virus season will see a “moderate” wave of COVID-19 and a “typical” range of severity for flu.
Moderna earlier this month announced positive data from its earlier studies of the combo shot, finding that it produced an immune response similar to or greater than licensed flu shots and Moderna’s bivalent COVID-19 shot.
“Combination vaccines offer an important opportunity to improve consumer and provider experience, increase compliance with public health recommendations, and deliver value for healthcare systems,” Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel said in a statement at the time. “We are excited to move combination respiratory vaccines into Phase 3 development and look forward to partnering with public health officials to address the significant seasonal threat posed to people by these viruses.”
They want to make it so that only flu/covid combos are available.
hell no.
pfizer and moderna need to be sued out of existence.
They can’t be sued over vaccines in the U.S., by law.
It just killed people and made them deathly I’ll. I and no one else cares about what they are doing know. Unless you where one of the jabbed. Then you are looking and praying for hope. Bless you! Don’t do any research into it.
Hell no. Those criminals can take those shots and shove them.
THey can be sued if any fraud was involved and can be proven.
Had to double check to see if this was one of those Babylon Bee articles. . . .
What are the chances of that?
So the goal is to increase compliance with public health recommendations.
FU Moderna!! You can take you recommendations and shove them up your collective asses on your way to Hell!!!!
I don’t want a combo!
And I don’t want an RNA-based flu shot—only the conventional shot!!!! (We just got one earlier this month.)
Phooey! Fluey!
Sadly, Reagan’s legacy has been tainted because of this. Fauci started under him.
They are getting better. But I know what you mean.
I hope you are right.
Is he dead yet?.......
We will never again take a “flu shot”.
bkmk
They will not guarantee the flu shots they offer are free of Chinese virus crap, and we have no way of determining it.
Looks like no more flu shots in this lifetime.
