A new flu vaccine has been approved by the FDA for adults 50 and older. This vaccine, made by Moderna, uses mRNA technology, which was also used to develop COVID-19 vaccines. The vaccine, named mFlusiva, is expected to be available soon at select retailers.

Other flu vaccines have already started arriving at pharmacies in preparation for the fall vaccination season. Further details about the new vaccine and its availability in Piney Point Village can be found through the source. The approval of this new vaccine comes as flu season approaches, a time when older adults are particularly vulnerable to influenza.
