Cambridge, MA, Aug 24, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) today announced that it has received approval from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) in Japan for a partial change application for an updated formulation of its COVID-19 mRNA vaccine Spikevax, targeting the SARS-CoV-2 variant JN.1."We appreciate the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare approval decision for our updated COVID-19 mRNA vaccine," said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. "It is important that people are vaccinated with the latest updated COVID-19 vaccines that can protect against circulating strains. With COVID-19 vaccination becoming a routine inoculation similar to seasonal flu vaccines, individuals will be able to receive their updated COVID-19 vaccine alongside their flu vaccine this fall."In May 2024, a Japanese health ministry panel recommended that COVID-19 vaccines be updated to target the JN.1 family of Omicron subvariants for the 2024/2025 national immunization program (NIP). This guidance aligns with the recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO) Technical Advisory Group on COVID-19 Vaccine Composition (TAG-CO-VAC) on the use of a monovalent JN.1 lineage for COVID-19 vaccine antigen composition.The NIP in Japan will offer COVID-19 vaccination to individuals aged 65 and older, as well as qualifying individuals aged 60 to 64.[1] Japan has the highest proportion of older adults worldwide, with approximately 30% of its population aged 65 and above. Given that respiratory viruses are a leading disease burden in people older than 65, NIPs are crucial in reducing the burden of disease and, ultimately, future pressure on the health system. Individuals requesting COVID-19 vaccination outside of the regular program will have the option of voluntary vaccination at their own expense.In July, Moderna entered into an agreement with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation to support the co-promotion of Moderna's mRNA respiratory vaccine portfolio in Japan, including Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine, Spikevax.About ModernaModerna is a leader in the creation of the field of mRNA medicine. Through the advancement of mRNA technology, Moderna is reimagining how medicines are made and transforming how we treat and prevent disease for everyone. By working at the intersection of science, technology and health for more than a decade, the company has developed medicines at unprecedented speed and efficiency, including one of the earliest and most effective COVID-19 vaccines.Moderna's mRNA platform has enabled the development of therapeutics and vaccines for infectious diseases, immuno-oncology, rare diseases and autoimmune diseases. With a unique culture and a global team driven by Moderna values and mindsets to responsibly change the future of human health, Moderna strives to deliver the greatest possible impact to people through mRNA medicines.

馬薩諸塞州劍橋, 2024年8月24日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - Moderna, Inc.（納斯達克股票代碼：MRNA）今日宣佈，已獲得日本厚生勞動省（MHLW）批准其COVID-19 mRNA疫苗Spikevax更新配方的部分變更申請，該疫苗針對SARS-CoV-2 JN.1變異株。 “我們感謝日本厚生勞動省對我們更新後的COVID-19 mRNA疫苗作出的批准決定，”莫德納首席執行官Stéphane Bancel表示。“確保人們接種最新更新的COVID-19疫苗，以防範現有流行的毒株，這是至關重要的。隨著COVID-19疫苗接種變得像季節性流感疫苗一樣成為常規接種，個人將能夠在今年秋季同時接種更新後的COVID-19疫苗和流感疫苗。” 2024年5月，日本衛生部的一個專家小組建議，將COVID-19疫苗更新為針對JN.1奧密克戎子變異株家族的疫苗，用於2024/2025年度的國家免疫計劃（NIP）。這一指導意見與世界衛生組織（WHO）COVID-19疫苗成分技術諮詢小組（TAG-CO-VAC）關於採用單價JN.1譜系作為COVID-19疫苗抗原成分的建議保持一致。日本的國家免疫計劃（NIP）將為65歲及以上的人群，以及符合條件的60至64歲人群提供COVID-19疫苗接種服務。日本是全球老齡化比例最高的國家，大約30%的人口年齡在65歲及以上。鑑於呼吸道病毒是65歲以上人群的主要疾病負擔，國家免疫計劃對於減輕疾病負擔以及未來減輕醫療系統壓力至關重要。要求在常規計劃之外接種COVID-19疫苗的個人可以選擇自費自願接種。 今年7月，莫德納與三菱田邊製藥株式會社達成協議，共同推廣莫德納的mRNA呼吸道疫苗組合在日本的使用，其中包括Moderna的COVID-19疫苗Spikevax。 關於ModernaModerna是mRNA醫學領域的開創者。透過推動mRNA技術的發展，Moderna正在重新構想藥物的製造方式，改變我們對待和預防疾病的方式。透過在科學、技術和健康的交匯處工作超過十年，該公司以前所未有的速度和效率開發了藥物，包括最早和最有效的COVID-19疫苗之一。Moderna的mRNA平台使得能夠開發用於傳染性疾病、免疫腫瘤學、罕見疾病和自體免疫疾病的治療和疫苗。憑藉著獨特的文化和由Moderna的價值觀和思維方式推動的全球團隊，Moderna致力於透過mRNA藥物為人們提供最大的可能影響。有關Moderna的更多信息，請訪問modernatx.com，並在X（前身為Twitter）、Facebook、Instagram、YouTube和LinkedIn上與我們聯繫。前瞻性陳述本新聞稿包含根據1995年《私人證券訴訟改革法案》修訂版的定義所指的前瞻性聲明，包括以下聲明：日本厚生勞動省授權Moderna更新的針對JN.1的COVID-19疫苗；Moderna更新後的COVID-19疫苗誘導免疫反應並提供針對流行SARS-CoV-2變種保護的能力；以及Moderna為支持日本COVID-19國家免疫計劃而供應其COVID-19疫苗的能力。本新聞稿中的前瞻性聲明既不構成承諾也不構成保證，您不應過度依賴這些前瞻性聲明，因為這些聲明涉及已知和未知的風險、不確定性和其他因素，其中許多超出了莫德納的控制範圍，可能導致實際結果與這些前瞻性聲明所表達或暗示的內容存在重大差異。這些風險、不確定性和其他因素包括但不限於，Moderna在2023年12月31日結束的財政年度的年度報告中「風險因素」一節中描述的那些風險和不確定性，該報告已向美國證券交易委員會（SEC）提交，並在Moderna隨後向SEC提交的文件中描述，這些文件可在SEC的網站www.sec.gov上取得。除非法律規定，Moderna不承擔更新或修訂本新聞稿中包含的任何前瞻性陳述的意圖或責任，以反映新資訊、未來發展或其他情況。這些前瞻性陳述是基於Moderna當前的期望，並僅截至本新聞稿的日期。聯絡方式:媒體:International mediaLuke Mircea-WillatsSenior Director, International CommunicationsLuke.mirceawillats@modernatx.comModerna JapanCommunications & Mediajapan-pr@modernatx.com投資者:Lavina TalukdarSenior Vice President & Head of Investor Relations+1 617-209-5834Lavina.Talukdar@modernatx.com[1] 符合條件的個人包括：60至64歲且患有嚴重心臟、腎臟或呼吸功能障礙，嚴重限制日常活動的個人，或因人類免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）導致免疫缺陷，致使日常生活極其困難的個人。來源：Moderna, Inc.
