## Resource

Scientists at Washington University are testing a groundbreaking mRNA flu vaccine—same tech as COVID shots—that trains your body to build antibodies instead of using weakened virus. Early results show it sparks a stronger, more lasting immune response in lymph nodes than traditional flu shots, potentially offering broader protection and faster updates as flu strains evolve. While the FDA is reviewing approval for older adults, public skepticism remains—especially around DNA myths—though experts confirm mRNA vaccines don’t alter your genetic code.
