## Resource

Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine, mFlusiva, is poised to revolutionize flu protection for older adults—FDA approval is imminent for ages 50-64, with broader authorization sought for seniors 65+. Leveraging the same tech that conquered COVID, this vaccine could be deployed faster than traditional shots, crucial as flu strains evolve. Despite earlier FDA pushback over comparison benchmarks, the agency now supports the application, noting promising antibody levels in trials—though gaps remain for the most vulnerable. This marks a major leap in vaccine science, prioritizing those at highest risk. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
