Among adults 50 years of age or older, fewer cases of confirmed influenza-like illness were observed with an mRNA influenza vaccine than with standard vaccines. Reactogenicity was higher with the mRNA vaccine. Full phase 3 Fluent trial results: https://nej.md/4nfu2z8 #InfectiousDisease

New results published in the New England Journal of Medicine finds Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine gave more protection against illness than the standard flu shot in a Phase 3 clinical trial.
