European Commission approves Moderna's first non-COVID mRNA vaccine, mRESVIA, for adults aged 60 and over.

European Commission approves Moderna's mRNA RSV vaccine (mRESVIA) for adults aged 60 and over, marking the first time an mRNA vaccine has been approved for a disease other than COVID-19 in Europe. RSV is a highly contagious seasonal virus that can cause severe symptoms in infants and the elderly. In the EU, Norway, and the UK, RSV leads to hospitalization of around 158,000 adults and 213,000 children under five each year. The approval emphasizes Moderna's leadership in mRNA technology and public health innovation.
