After a positive European Medicines human medicines committee (CHMP)recommendation in June, Moderna (Nasdaq: MRNA) today received approval from the European Commission (EC) for its mRESVIA (mRNA-1345), an mRNA respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine, to protect adults aged 60 years and older from lower respiratory tract disease caused by RSV infection.
The authorization is valid in all 27 European Union member states, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
mRESVIA is the third prophylactic RSV vaccine to enter the market, following those of GSK’s (LSE: GSK) Arexvy and Pfizer’s (NYSE: PFE) Abrysvo. However, mRESVIA is differentiated by being the first mRNA vaccine to provide protection against RSV.
