mRNA flu vaccine offers immune protection against wide array of influenza virus strains

2026-06-15T11:45:00+01:00

A new study has found that an investigational mRNA influenza vaccine helps the immune system recognize a wider range of influenza viruses than today’s standard flu shot, offering stronger and potentially longer-lasting protection. The vaccine, developed by Moderna, is currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
