Europe approves Moderna combo flu-COVID mRNA vaccine
European regulators have become the first in the world to authorize Moderna's combination mRNA vaccine targeting both influenza and COVID-19, offering patients a single shot for both diseases. The US is not in the running for first approval: Moderna withdrew its FDA application last year amid the RFK Jr.-led pressure campaign against vaccines inside the Trump administration. The approval marks a concrete divergence in public health policy between the EU and the US.
