FDA expands approval of Moderna's RSV vaccine to some adults under age 60
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration expanded its approval of Moderna's respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine on Thursday to include adults under the age of 60 at increased risk of the disease. Previously, the vaccine, known as mRESVIA, had been licensed for use for those aged 60 and older. Approval for mRESVIA came after Moderna conducted a late-stage clinical trial showing the vaccine helped boost immune responses in younger adults. More than one-third of adults between ages 18 and 59 have at least one underlying condition that puts them at increased risk of RSV, according to Moderna. "RSV poses a serious health risk to adults with certain chronic conditions, and today's approval marks an important step forward in our ability to protect additional populations from severe illness from RSV," Stéphane Bancel, CEO of Moderna, said in a press release. "We appreciate the FDA's review and thank all the participants in our clinical trial as well as the Moderna team for their dedication to protecting people against RSV." Although the FDA approves vaccines and may expand approvals for certain age groups, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sets recommendations regarding who should get vaccines and when. Currently, the CDC recommends RSV vaccination only for those aged 75 and older and for those aged 60 and over at increased risk. The CDC's independent vaccine advisory committee will need to vote to recommend that the new age group be eligible for the shot, followed by a final recommendation from the director of the CDC. Earlier this week, Kennedy removed all 17 sitting members of the committee and replaced them with eight new members. It remains unclear how the new members of the panel will decide to approach recommendations for the RSV vaccine. As of Friday, the CDC director role remains vacant and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been making final recommendations. In an April meeting, the prior advisory committee voted to recommend RSV vaccination for those aged 50 to 59 with increased risk of disease, but Kennedy did not adopt the recommendations. meeting scheduled to be held between June 25 and June 27 Moderna's RSV vaccine is based on mRNA technology, which some of the new members have expressed skepticism about, especially in relation to COVID-19 vaccines. Despite availability, RSV vaccination has been lagging. As of April 26, the latest date for which CDC data is available, an estimated 47.5% of adults aged 75 and older and 38.1% of adults aged 60 to 74 with a high-risk condition reported ever having received an RSV vaccine.

FDA Announces Recall on Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal for Potential Metal Contamination
Post Consumer Brands, LLC, has issued a recall for select boxes of Honey Bunches of Oats because the cereal may be contaminated with foreign material, specifically metal. In total, more than 5,300 cases of Post Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds are being recalled due to potential metal contamination. Post initially issued the recall on May 28, 2025, and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) classified it as a 'Class II' recall, meaning eating the cereal 'may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,' on June 12, 2025. The recalled Honey Bunches of Oats cereal was sold at stores in two states: California and Colorado. To determine if you have the contaminated cereal, look for the following information on the packaging: 48-ounce (3-pound) boxes of Post Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds, Sweetened Cereal with Oats and Honey with two bags inside; UPC 8 84912-01428 3; "Best If Used By" Date APR0926 RCA and APR1026 RCA No other Honey Bunches of Oats cereals or Post products are impacted by this recall. Because the recall was announced in May, the impacted cereal is likely not available for purchase anymore. However, you should check the boxes in your pantry. If you have the recalled cereal, do not consume it. Instead, throw it away or return it to the original place of purchase for a refund or replacement. Additionally, if you discarded the box, but purchased Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds cereal in California or Colorado and still have it in your home, you should not consume it out of an abundance of caution. At this time, the FDA hasn't reported any injuries caused by eating the contaminated cereal. Read the original article on ALLRECIPES
