The FDA has approved Moderna's mNexspike vaccine for specific high-risk groups, marking a shift in COVID-19 vaccination strategy.
Overview
The FDA has approved Moderna's new low-dose COVID-19 vaccine, mNexspike, for adults 65 and older and those aged 12-64 with health conditions. This vaccine is not a replacement for the existing Spikevax but offers a lower dose option. The approval reflects a cautious approach amid skepticism from health officials. The decision follows a study showing mNexspike's safety and effectiveness. Moderna plans to provide both vaccine options this fall, despite recent funding cuts for pandemic flu vaccine development by the Trump administration.
