Europe Endorses Its First mRNA Vaccine for RSV
Medscape ^ | June 28, 2024 | Peter Russell

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended granting a marketing authorization for the mRNA respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine mRESVIA (mRNA-1345) to protect adults aged 60 years or older from lower respiratory tract disease caused by RSV infection.

RSV is a highly contagious seasonal respiratory virus and a leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections and pneumonia. It is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms but can lead to serious consequences in older adults.

mResvia (Moderna Biotech) is an mRNA vaccine that consists of an mRNA sequence encoding a stabilized prefusion F glycoprotein. The F glycoprotein is expressed on the surface of the virus and helps it to enter and thus infect host cells. The prefusion conformation of the F protein is a significant target of potent neutralizing antibodies and is highly conserved across both RSV-A and RSV-B subtypes.

The CHMP's decision was based on a phase 2/3 randomized placebo-controlled study that demonstrated the vaccine's effectiveness in preventing lower respiratory tract disease in people older than 60 years.

It is the first mRNA vaccine targeting a pathogen other than SARS-CoV-2 to receive a positive opinion from the CHMP, the EMA said. A final decision on whether to grant a marketing authorization for EU countries will be taken by the European Commission.

mRNA Vaccine for New SARS-CoV-2 Variant

At its June meeting, the CHMP also backed an update to the composition of the mRNA vaccine Comirnaty to target the new SARS-CoV-2 JN.1 variant.

The JN.1 variant is a descendant of BA.2.86 and has an additional mutation in the spike protein. The JN.1 SARS-CoV-2 variant has been the most widely circulating in the United States and globally, according to an update from the CDC earlier this year.

The revision of Comirnaty is in line with a recommendation issued by the EMA's Emergency Task Force (ETF) to update COVID-19 vaccines to target the JN.1 variant in EU countries during the 2024-2025 vaccination campaign. In April this year, the ETF said that targeting JN.1 would help to maintain the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines as SARS-CoV-2 continues to evolve.

There is no limit to stupid and there is no pill to take to cure it.

Given the death rate of the vaxx and its upteenth booster, I'd say the jab cures stupid pretty well.

I guess the ruling elite want to see more death. I don’t believe I’m alone on this but I can’t believe the mRNA poison is still allowed, let alone being pushed. Just refuse to take their poison.

I expect it to be as ineffective as the Coof jab at preventing RSV, and have similar side effects.

Just ran across this from June and the CDC...

CDC Updates RSV Vaccination Recommendation for Adults For the upcoming respiratory virus season, CDC recommends everyone age 75 and older receive the RSV vaccine

Check out the change in recommendation for who gets one and when...

...This recommendation is for adults who did not get an RSV vaccine last year. The RSV vaccine is not currently an annual vaccine, meaning people do not need to get a dose every RSV season. Eligible adults can get an RSV vaccine at any time, but the best time to get vaccinated is in late summer and early fall before RSV usually starts to spread in communities.

Today’s updated recommendation for people 60 and older replaces the recommendation made last year to simplify RSV vaccine decision-making for clinicians and the public...

Sure it is.
