Summary

Public health experts fear rising anti-vaccine sentiment and political resistance to mRNA technology could stall FDA approval of new vaccines, including Moderna’s flu+Covid combo shot.

The FDA unexpectedly delayed approval of Novavax’s Covid vaccine, sparking concerns about further delays.

Lawmakers in several states have proposed bans on mRNA vaccines, despite their proven safety. Moderna and Pfizer are advancing mRNA-based combo vaccines, while Novavax pursues a protein-based version.

Experts warn that political interference could undermine innovation and access to vaccines, even as combination shots promise greater convenience and protection.
