In September, Pfizer announced the start of a Phase 3 study of an mRNA-based influenza vaccine candidate that could potentially deliver an improved flu vaccine.
The disease causes 140,000 to 710,000 hospitalizations and 12,000 to 52,000 deaths in the U.S. every year. Since 2018, Pfizer has been working to develop a potential mRNA influenza vaccine, after entering into a collaboration agreement with BioNTech.
Pfizer is committed to continuing to advance mRNA technology to unlock its full potential for the benefit of patients around the world. The trial is a part of Pfizer’s broader influenza vaccine development program, focused on leveraging mRNA technology in a vaccine to help protect against influenza.
