TL;DR Summary

The FDA has approved Moderna's RSV vaccine, mRESVIA, for adults aged 60 and above, marking the company's second product to enter the U.S. market. This approval is crucial for Moderna as it seeks new revenue sources amid declining demand for its Covid vaccine. The mRNA-based RSV vaccine, which is the first of its kind for a disease other than Covid, showed 83.7% efficacy in a late-stage trial. The CDC will vote on usage recommendations in June, potentially allowing Moderna to compete with existing RSV vaccines from GSK and Pfizer.
