Nice to see some of Vinay Prasads anti-vaxx work being reversed at the FDA.
Moderna’s once-rebuffed mRNA flu shot to face scrutiny from FDA adcomm
After getting slapped with a surprise refuse-to-file letter signed by former CBER Director Vinay Prasad, Moderna’s flu vaccine application will now go before the FDA’s Vaccine advisory committee.

Thread, how far afield can an adcomm go over a 2 day meeting
Dear ACIP,
Informed consent is a state issue.
The Vaccine Information Statement is a federal document that needs to be give to people before vaccinating. CDC can change it - after a long process, and in consultation with the Advisory Commission of Childhood Vaccines.

Another reason to call legislators in DC - Stay on them every day with something! It takes 6 months for pharmas to make the vaccines. This meeting was postponed last month and no idea if this time is a cancel or another postponement..

Yes, that's right - FDA needs to approve updates to the flu vaccine, via a supplemental BLA. If no updates are approved, the current (24-25 season) flu vaccine will be what's approved/available for legal marketing.
The AdComm doesn't need to meet for FDA to approve - but this is a very bad sign.

Asked about this tactic on the Thursday call, the FDA official bashed the advisory committee process.”
