Moderna to Present Revaccination Data for Its Investigational Seasonal Influenza Vaccine and for mRESVIA at ESCMID 2026
Rhea-AI Summary
Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) will present late-breaking revaccination data for its investigational seasonal influenza vaccine mRNA-1010 and its RSV vaccine mRESVIA (mRNA-1345) at ESCMID 2026 in Munich on April 18, 2026.
Results show similar day-29 HAI geometric mean fold rises across three WHO influenza strains after sequential mRNA-1010 dosing, numerically higher versus an egg-based comparator, and no new safety signals. Interim mRESVIA data in adults 60+ showed well-tolerated heterologous revaccination and potential restoration of protection. mRNA-1010 is under regulatory review in the US, Europe, Canada and Australia with potential first approvals in 2026.

Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 03 | Patent settlement | Positive | +16.0% | Global settlement resolving Spikevax and mRESVIA patent litigation with lump-sum payment. |
| Feb 27 | Regulatory opinion | Positive | +3.6% | EMA CHMP positive opinion recommending EU authorization of mCOMBRIAX combination vaccine. |
| Feb 19 | Conference appearances | Neutral | +6.7% | Investor conference presentations scheduled at TD Cowen and Barclays healthcare conferences. |
| Feb 18 | BLA acceptance | Positive | +6.1% | FDA acceptance of mRNA-1010 BLA with PDUFA goal date set for August 5, 2026. |
| Feb 17 | EU approval | Positive | +4.0% | European Commission marketing authorization for COVID-19 vaccine mNEXSPIKE across EU and EEA. |
Recent news tied to regulatory progress and strategic settlements has typically seen positive price alignment, with only conference-related updates showing divergence.
Over the last few months, Moderna has reported several major milestones. A global patent settlement on Mar 03, 2026 removed litigation overhang tied to Spikevax and mRESVIA. The EMA’s CHMP issued a positive opinion on mCOMBRIAX on Feb 27, and the FDA accepted the mRNA-1010 BLA with an Aug 5, 2026 PDUFA date on Feb 18. The European Commission also authorized COVID-19 vaccine mNEXSPIKE on Feb 17. Compared with those, today’s ESCMID revaccination data update extends the clinical narrative rather than adding a new regulatory decision.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement details late-breaking ESCMID 2026 presentations on revaccination with mRNA-1010 and mRESVIA, showing maintained immunogenicity and no new safety concerns in older adults. It extends prior regulatory progress on mRNA-1010 and other respiratory vaccines without introducing a new approval or filing. Investors may watch for full Phase 3 data, regulatory decisions expected in 2026, and how these influenza and RSV profiles compare to existing vaccines in terms of durability, safety, and revaccination performance.

CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESS Newswire / April 6, 2026 / Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) today announced that the Company will present late-breaking oral presentations on revaccination data for both mRNA-1010, its investigational seasonal influenza vaccine, and for mRESVIA® (mRNA-1345), its mRNA respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine, at the 2026 European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) Global Congress in Munich, Germany, on April 17-21, 2026.
Moderna's presentation, "Sequential administration of an mRNA-based seasonal influenza vaccine in older adults," details an exploratory, post-hoc analysis assessing the safety and immunogenicity of mRNA-1010 in adults 50 years and older following prior seasonal influenza vaccination with mRNA-1010 or a licensed egg-based influenza vaccine. The analysis was conducted among participants in the pivotal Phase 3 mRNA-1010 study (P304) who previously participated in another Phase 3 mRNA-1010 study (P302 or P303), in which participants received a single dose of mRNA-1010 or a licensed egg-based comparator. With a median time between vaccination of 23 months, day 29 hemagglutination inhibition geometric mean fold rises for all three WHO-recommended influenza strains (A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Victoria) were similar in participants who received mRNA-1010 in P304, regardless of prior study vaccination assignment, and numerically higher compared to participants who received a licensed egg-based comparator in P304. Additionally, there were no increases in solicited adverse reactions or new safety concerns observed with sequential mRNA-1010 vaccination.
mRNA-1010 has been accepted for review in the United States, Europe, Canada and Australia, with further submissions planned in 2026. Moderna expects the first potential approvals for mRNA-1010 in 2026, subject to ongoing regulatory reviews.
Additionally, Moderna's presentation, "Safety and immunogenicity of RSV revaccination with mRNA-1345 after primary vaccination with protein-based vaccine," shares interim results from an ongoing, open-label Phase 3 study that evaluated mRESVIA in adults 60 years and older when given as a heterologous revaccination dose >12 months after primary vaccination with a licensed RSV protein-based vaccine. The mRESVIA revaccination dose was well-tolerated, with no new safety concerns observed. The study builds on similar findings from studies that assessed homologous revaccination with mRESVIA after a primary dose of mRESVIA. Together, these results suggest that revaccination with mRESVIA may restore protection comparable to primary dose levels, regardless of whether mRESVIA or a protein-based vaccine was used for a primary dose.
The details of the presentations are as follows:
Presentation Title: Sequential administration of an mRNA-based seasonal influenza vaccine in older adults
Session: Late-Breaking Vaccine Trials

About mRESVIA® (RSV Vaccine, mRNA)
mRESVIA® is an RSV vaccine that consists of an mRNA sequence encoding a stabilized prefusion F glycoprotein. The F glycoprotein is expressed on the surface of the virus and is required for infection by helping the virus to enter host cells. The prefusion conformation of the F protein is a significant target of potent neutralizing antibodies and is highly conserved across both RSV-A and RSV-B subtypes. The vaccine uses the same lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) as the Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.
INDICATION
mRESVIA is a vaccine to protect you against lower respiratory tract disease caused by Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).
mRESVIA is for people 60 years of age and older and also for people 18 through 59 years of age who are at increased risk for RSV (people with medical conditions such as diabetes or with diseases affecting the lungs and heart). Vaccination with mRESVIA may not protect all people who receive the vaccine.
mRESVIA does not contain RSV. mRESVIA cannot give you lower respiratory tract disease caused by RSV.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Who should not get mRESVIA?
You should not get mRESVIA if you had a severe allergic reaction to any ingredient in mRESVIA.
What should you tell your healthcare provider?
Tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:
Have any allergies
Had a severe allergic reaction after receiving a previous dose of any other vaccine
Have a fever
Have a bleeding disorder or are on a blood thinner
Are immunocompromised or are on a medicine that affects your immune system
Have received any other RSV vaccine
Have ever fainted in association with an injection
How is mRESVIA given?
mRESVIA is given as an injection into the muscle.
What are the risks of mRESVIA?
There is a very small chance that mRESVIA could cause a severe allergic reaction. A severe allergic reaction would usually occur within a few minutes to one hour after getting a dose of mRESVIA. For this reason, your healthcare provider may ask you to stay for a short time at the place where you received your vaccine. Signs of a severe allergic reaction may include:
Trouble breathing
Swelling of your face and throat
A fast heartbeat
A rash all over your body
Dizziness and weakness
Side effects that have been reported in clinical trials with mRESVIA include:
Injection-site reactions: pain, underarm swelling or tenderness in the same arm of the injection, swelling (hardness), and redness
Fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, chills, nausea or vomiting, fever and hives
These may not be all of the possible side effects of mRESVIA. Ask your healthcare provider about any side effects that concern you. You may report side effects to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) at 1-800-822-7967 or https://vaers.hhs.gov.
