Moderna said it had held further discussions with regulators and announced that the agency would accept the company’s application for approval of its flu vaccine that uses mRNA technology.

Stuff like the Epstein-Barr virus vaccine will likely never become available, and we’ll never know if it’s possible to prevent Parkinson’s with a vaccine.
