Moderna is a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics and vaccines. The company develops mRNA medicines for infectious diseases, cancer, rare diseases, and autoimmune conditions, with the first commercial product (Spikevax COVID-19 vaccine) approved in 2020 and ongoing development of seasonal flu, RSV, and oncology programs.
While Moderna preps an entry to the oncology market next year with a personalized cancer vaccine, COVID sales are holding steady with several other vaccine launches underway around the world.
Moderna's mRNA flu shot has won FDA approval, bouncing back after a refusal-to-file letter earlier this year and becoming the first approved mRNA flu vaccine.

The FDA in February briefly refused to review Moderna’s flu vaccine, citing trial inadequacies, but reversed course a few days later. A verdict is expected by Aug. 5.
The FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee meets June 18 to discuss Moderna's seasonal flu vaccine mRNA-1010 after the agency initially refused to accept the application in February.
Moderna has hired Ester Banque, a longtime Novartis commercial leader, as its new Chief Commercial Officer to prepare for upcoming product launches including the seasonal flu vaccine mRNA-1010.
