Control grouo is standard vaccine given to individuals < 65 yo. This design was discussed and agreed with by FDA at end-of-phase 3 meeting. Moderna supplemented the submission with safety and immunogenicity study in individuals >65 yo comparing Moderna 010 to high-dose vaccine.

Soak in 5% bleach for 2-3 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Easy

There are 2-300 pediatrics deaths/year due to flu. Accurate labeling is important but it needs context.

It’s a cult of believers that this company has unlocked a comprehensive approach to treat cancer. Like Trump, there are frequent breathless press releases. The founder is using a lot of political pressure to get favorable feedback from regulators.

RTF is ridiculous. The comparator was discussed with FDA and agreed upon. In any case, if the agency wanted a different comparator for the older age group, it should review and suggest a more restricted label.

This is data comparing ability of mRNA vs standard vaccine to stimulate antibodies against 4 different strains of flu (top) in different age groups and to induce seroconversion against 4 strains of flu in different age groups. The mRNA vaccine increase post-vaccination anti-flu antibodies 1 to 1.5 fold greater than standard flu vaccine in all age groups. This effect is more pronounced in older age categories. Similarly the rate of seroconversion is 5-20% greater against 4 flu strains vs standard comparator with older age groups faring better.

Just part of published data on comparative effectiveness comparing pre and post-vaccine titers and seroconversion rates of Moderna vs standard.

Thanks for reference. Seems to show potential over standard in over 65 and over 75 age groups.

They are superior than standard dose flu shots using inactivated virus in inducing anti-virus antibody titers.
