Moderna has announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has given a positive opinion for the authorization of its updated COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, Spikevax, targeting the JN.1 variant.

This vaccine is intended for people aged six months and over for the autumn/winter 2024-2025 season. This decision is based on preclinical and clinical data demonstrating the vaccine's efficacy and safety.

Moderna has already obtained similar approvals in Japan, Taiwan and the UK, and continues to submit applications elsewhere. In the EU, the company is participating in a tender for Covid vaccines.
