FDA approves Moderna’s RSV vaccine, its second licensed product

The Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved Moderna’s vaccine to protect older adults against respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, making this the company’s second licensed product.

The Moderna RSV vaccine, which will be marketed under the name mResvia, was approved for adults 60 and older. It is made using the same messenger RNA platform as Moderna’s other licensed product, its Covid-19 vaccine Spikevax.

“The FDA approval of our second product, mResvia, builds on the strength and versatility of our mRNA platform,” Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel said in a statement.
