It’s in trial, across the country. First roll out was in CO.
....The new flu vaccines are based on mRNA technology, the same method that was used to create the most common and successful U.S. COVID-19 vaccines, those made by Pfizer and Moderna.
These vaccines use messenger RNA (or mRNA) to “teach” cells to make proteins. These proteins don’t cause illness, but are the same type that we’d get during a COVID-19 or flu infection. The vaccines then train the immune system to prevent actual infections.
The first group of participants in Colorado — 50 people ages 65 to 85 — could start receiving mRNA flu vaccines as early as mid-August. That’s when Dr. Myron Levin, an expert on infectious diseases and vaccines, expects to enroll older adults for the first round of testing at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Patients at the UCHealth Seniors Clinic will be able to volunteer for the study, as will other older adults.
The Colorado site is one of about 25 across the country where Pfizer will be conducting early tests on a new mRNA flu vaccine.
In the coming weeks, Levin also expects to enroll volunteers for another clinical trial realted to mRNA flu vaccines. Moderna has created a new vaccine that aims to provide combined protection against both flu and COVID-19, including the most recent variants of COVID-19. ....

Um...no, thanks!!
“Is this year’s shot an mRNA shot, or the traditional one?”
~~~~~
There aren’t any manufactured mRNA flu vaccines but Flu itself is a negative strand RNA virus that contains plenty of mRNA.
Wrong, again, Pelham.

But...there is a link, at my posted link, where YOU can sign up for these trials!
Yeah, I had seen that. But when you go to an ordinary clinic or drug store this season you aren’t going to receive that. And if you somehow did you would be informed.
