Vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted 13-0 Friday to support recommending the two-dose Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, which received full approval from the US FDA earlier this week for use in adults. Read:
The recommendation they voted on was:"The Moderna COVID-19 BLA approved vaccine is recommended for persons 18 years of age and older."
The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices endorsed the vaccine after hearing details about Moderna's application to the FDA and the latest safety data. There are no new safety concerns around the Moderna vaccine in adults, but it is linked to rare cases of two types of serious adverse events: anaphylaxis and myocarditis, a type of heart inflammation.
