Feb 27 (Reuters) - Europe's medicines regulator recommended approval for Moderna's COVID and flu combination vaccine on Friday, putting it on track to become the first single shot to protect people aged 50 and older against both illnesses.
Currently people need two separate shots to protect them against COVID-19 and influenza and the vaccines are updated regularly to match the viral strains in circulation.
Moderna is banking on the COVID-flu combination shot and also an mRNA-based flu shot to help it return to revenue growth as demand for COVID vaccines has collapsed in the years after the pandemic.
It hopes international markets will drive revenue growth this year, as anti-vaccine activist U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr has disrupted the domestic market.
Shares of the biotech, which were flat in U.S. premarket hours on Friday, have declined by nearly 90% from 2021 highs.
Last year, Moderna withdrew its U.S. application for its COVID-flu combination shot to wait for efficacy data from a late-stage trial of its influenza vaccine.
Earlier this month, the company said it was waiting for guidance from the Food and Drug Administration on refiling the application.
U.S. regulators initially refused to review a separate mRNA-based flu vaccine from the company, then reversed course a week later after Moderna amended its application.

Oh, great. Now there’s one more thing I’ve got to avoid.
So it will be question time at my next flu shot. This isn’t the Moderna flu shot, is it? Because if it is, bye. See ya later.
Let me get that right into me.....

They won’t be honest with you about it. I caught my cardiologist and my general practitioner lying about several things. The practices both get lucrative bonuses for meeting vaccine goals with the pharmaco’s. The business unit within the practice (usually private equity) demands the doctors meet their business goals.
the problem with ANY combo medication is that WHEN side-effects occur, no one has any idea which component of the combo is causing the problem and should be avoided in the future if a side-effect is particularly severe ...
combos really should be avoided at all costs ...

Good point. Perhaps the patient should ask for the type of vaccine upfront, and in writing. They could still lie. But the request might make them think twice before doing so.
Medicine is not in your best interests these days (as it's being practiced).
It is so dangerous to allow the practice of rewarding medical decisions with financial incentives. My trust in physicians is in the cellar.
Covid, Flu, AND Cancer!

Ask to see the vile and read the label before and as the syringe is being filled. Trust no one because a lot of medical professionals believe the mRNA jab a good thing.
“first single shot to protect people aged 50 and older against both illnesses.”
It’s senior population control.
Don’t get it.
Nope. Don’t take a flu shot and didn’t take a Chicom shot. Nope, I’m no one’s guinea pig.
At this point, taking multiple vaccines is akin to playing Russian Roulette.
OMG, they are back again to indocrinate the idiots that a flu shot is a vaccine.
We all should have shorted Moderna’s stock back then.
I refused to take either shot, too.
A flu shot nearly killed my father in Nov. 2002.
I haven’t taken a flu shot since Covid. Didn’t trust them, and the reason is in the title.
I did get the flu a couple months ago. Mild. Better than what unknown garbage might’ve been in the syringe.
