FDA Panel Set To Debate Moderna Flu Shot

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) will meet on Thursday, June 18, to discuss approval of Moderna Inc.’s (NASDAQ:MRNA) experimental mRNA-based flu vaccine.

FDA Advisory Committee To Review Moderna Flu Vaccine Application

The company submitted an application in December 2025 for mFlusiva (mRNA-1010), an mRNA-based trivalent influenza vaccine.

The VRBPAC panel’s vote will focus on the risk-benefit profile of mFlusiva for influenza prevention in adults aged 50 to 64 years, and in the 65-year-and-older population.

The briefing document released on Tuesday identified no major deficiencies.

The primary efficacy analysis demonstrated that mRNA-1010 (TIV) met all prespecified sequential success criteria—noninferiority, superiority, and super-superiority—relative to the standard-dose (SD) comparator.
