FDA just approved a groundbreaking mRNA flu vaccine for people 50 and older — the same tech that revolutionized COVID vaccines. Moderna’s new shot, shown in a massive 40,000-person trial to cut flu cases by 27%, could be available soon and offers faster production to keep up with mutating strains. While mild side effects like soreness and fatigue were more common, no serious safety issues emerged. After initial hesitation, FDA ultimately backed it following strong data and expert review — a major leap forward in flu prevention.
