Moderna Inc. is pushing to finalize its submission for FDA authorization of its COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 6 months to under 6 years, with completion expected next week. The company has already requested emergency use authorization, marking it as the first vaccine candidate for this age group, supported by clinical data showing a strong immune response similar to that of adults. Despite a substantial stock decline of over 57% in the past six months, Moderna aims to tackle ongoing vaccine demand and accessibility issues.
