FDA has approved the BLA for Spikevax (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) to prevent COVID-19 in individuals 18 years of age and older.

The FDA based its decision on the totality of scientific evidence shared by the Company in its submission package, which included follow-up data from the Phase III COVE study showing high efficacy and favorable safety approximately six months after the second dose. Moderna also submitted manufacturing and facilities data required by the FDA for licensure. Spikevax has received approval by regulators in more than 70 countries.
