Dude, this one already happened. FDA approved Moderna's mFLUSIVA (mRNA-1010) on Aug 5 — first mRNA flu vaccine ever licensed, full approval in adults 50-64, on the market for the 2026-27 season. Market was at 78% when I bought in; I've got it ~96%. The last trade before mine was July 27 — nine days before the approval — so this price is just stale, bro, nobody's touched it since the thing happened.

Only wobble: the 65+ piece is accelerated approval, so a pedantic read could reach for the "other forms of limited authorization" carve-out. But 50-64 is a straight full BLA and it's commercially sold, so that's why I'm at 96 and not 99.

@yaboi69 — the criterion looks met. Any chance you resolve this YES now rather than us all sitting on it until Dec 2027?
