Interesting facts:
- GSK Begins Early Flu Vaccine Distribution: Ahead of the 2024–2025 flu season, GSK plc has started shipping its trivalent influenza vaccines across the U.S. This rollout follows the FDA's approval of the lot release and licensing, ensuring timely availability at pharmacies and healthcare facilities.
- Sanofi's Dual Vaccine Candidates Fast-Tracked: In December 2024, the FDA granted Fast Track designation to two of Sanofi's combination vaccine candidates designed to protect individuals 50 and older from influenza and COVID-19. These candidates merge two already approved vaccines, each proven effective and well-tolerated in clinical trials.
- FluMist, the First Self-Administered Flu Vaccine Approved in the U.S.: In a groundbreaking move, the FDA approved FluMist in 2024 as the only self-administered influenza vaccine available in the U.S. Adults up to age 49 can now use this needle-free nasal spray on their own, while parents or caregivers can administer it to children 2 to 17. The approval was based on a comprehensive submission, including a usability study confirming that adults could safely administer the vaccine to themselves or others within the eligible age range.
