The study showed the Moderna flu vaccine was more effective.
The decision by the FDA, which Moderna said is inconsistent with the agency's previous feedback, is the latest blow the Trump administration has delivered to efforts to use mRNA technology to develop new vaccines.

The telehealth company HIMSS says that today it's launching its own version of the Wegovi pill made by a compounding pharmacy.
And the starting dose will be $49, $100 less than Novo Nordisk's cash price for the brand name.
Novo Nordisk launched its obesity pill in early January.
Compounded drugs are made with the same active ingredients as brand name versions, but by specialized pharmacies, not drug companies.
They're not generics and haven't been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Traditionally, compounding pharmacies make customized drugs for people who may need them because they're allergic to an ingredient in the brand name version, for example.
Novo Nordisk says it will take legal action against HIMS's copy.

TrumpRx.gov launched Thursday with discounts on several dozen brand-name drugs.
The savings range from 33% off ulcerative colitis and psoriasis pill Zeldjantz to 93% off IVF drug Cetratide.
Patients can search the website for drugs and get coupons redeemable for discounts at pharmacies.
Other discounts are available through drug makers.
Patients have to pay cash and agree not to seek insurance reimbursement for out-of-pocket costs or count them toward a deductible.
Drug policy experts have said it's unclear how many people will benefit from TrumpRx, however.
For people with insurance, copays are likely to be cheaper than the cash prices.
And some of the drugs are already available as inexpensive generics.
