Moderna's mNEXSPIKE shows 35.9% relative effectiveness against medically attended COVID-19 versus Comirnaty in older adults
- Moderna announced published results in JAMA Network Open comparing its mNEXSPIKE COVID-19 vaccine with Comirnaty.
- The real-world study included 294,499 matched US veterans aged 65 and older during the 2025-2026 respiratory virus season.
- mNEXSPIKE was associated with fewer COVID-19 hospitalizations and medically attended cases than Comirnaty.
- An exploratory analysis also linked mNEXSPIKE to fewer hospitalizations involving major adverse cardiovascular events.
- The observational findings do not establish causality; the predominantly older, male population may limit applicability to broader populations.
