study to investigate the immunogenicity, reactogenicity, and safety of mrna-1083 vaccine (sars-cov-2 [covid-19] and influenza) in adults ≥50 years of age

Conditions: COVID-19; Influenza

Summary: the purpose of the study is to evaluate the immunogenicity, reactogenicity, and safety of mrna-1083 in adults 50 years of age and older in participating countries (japan, taiwan, and south korea).
