mRNA Flu Vaccines: Preventing the Next Pandemic

An experimental mRNA flu vaccine that targets 20 different strains of influenza viruses may help prevent future pandemics, says new research led by Scott Hensley, PhD, a professor of Microbiology.

The study of the vaccine, published last week in Science, dramatically reduced signs of illness and protected from death, even for flu strains different from those used in making the vaccine. The vaccine uses the same messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology employed in the Pfizer and Moderna SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, pioneered at Penn by Drew Weissman, MD, PhD, the Roberts Family Professor in Vaccine Research and Director of Vaccine Research at Penn Medicine.
