Now that it\u2019s fully licensed, Moderna is able to advertise its shot directly to patients. It\u2019ll be marketed under the brand name Spikevax. <\/p>\n The full approval is based on clinical trial data from nearly 30,000 people, which showed the vaccine was safe and effective protection against COVID-19. There\u2019s also a year of real-world data for this vaccine, which has been administered to tens of millions of people in the US. Along with the other COVID-19 shots available, it\u2019s saved millions of lives through the last year of the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
