Vaccine maker to seek approval for jab as it tries to diversify product pipeline
Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine being prepared. Moderna’s combined Covid-19 and flu vaccine matched the efficacy of single shots in late-stage trial results published on Monday, opening the door for the mRNA vaccine maker to seek approval for its third product.
Moderna plans to publish the interim data in a peer-reviewed journal and then submit it for US regulatory approval later this year. “When you talk to doctors, they love the idea of combinations as they will result in higher uptake as it appeals to people who don’t like needles,” said Mr Bancel. Global sales of Moderna’s Covid jab are projected to total $3.9 billion this year, down 40 per cent on revenues of $6.6 billion last year.
