Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this Phase 1/2 study is to generate sufficient safety and immunogenicity data of mRNA-1018 pandemic influenza candidate vaccines in healthy adults ≥18 years of age to enable the initiation of a large Phase 3 trial with one selected vaccine candidate. The study will be conducted in 2 Parts (Part A and Part B) that will enroll and run concurrently. Part A of the study will evaluate 4 vaccine candidates (H5N8, H7N9, H5 only, and H7 only). Part B of the study will evaluate a single vaccine candidate (H5 only-CG).
