Yuri Benijoud is a medical producer.
Producer with ABC News and he joins us now.
Yuri, thanks for joining us.
What can you tell us about the decision by the FDA?
Why do you think they pivoted so much on this?
I mean, we've we know Moderna from COVID days as well, and the M RNA, of course, became a household name for many people.
Um, what do you think the outcry was and did that make an impact on them pivoting?
Let's just review a little bit about MRNAs.
What are they?
What do they do?
How does it make it better?
Everyone's so used to getting the flu or knowing somebody who gets the flu every year.
How important is it to have this option of a vaccine into the mix?
What does Moderna say about this specific vaccine and who will it be for?
We also have a new CDC director, Doctor Erica Schwartz, and with flu season right around the corner, how does she play into this decision?
Yeah, we know everyone's still thinking about summer, but it's right around the corner.
It really is.
Yuri, thank you.
