Moderna’s COVID-19 Vaccine Meets Safety Criteria and Is Highly Effective: FDA Data The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released an analysis of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday, concluding it is highly effective and safe. The FDA’s analysis (pdf) was issued ahead of a Thursday meeting with a panel of independent medical advisers that will discuss whether scientific evidence supports the view that the vaccine, called mRNA-1273, is effective in preventing COVID-19 in people aged 18 and older, and if the known benefits outweigh potential risks. The agency indicated that the safety data from a clinical trial of the vaccine, which was jointly developed by Moderna and scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), demonstrated a “favorable safety profile” and there are “no specific safety concerns identified that would preclude issuance of an EUA [emergency use authorization].”
