New vaccine results for Moderna (Nasdaq: MRNA) caused shares of the stock to spike 6.47% in after-hours trading on Tuesday.

Details: Moderna’s respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine was 83.7% effective against the disease in older adults, according to the phase 3 results of the trial. Moderna now plans on submitting the results for regulatory approval in the first half of 2023.

Background: RSV is a virus that causes respiratory infections. In the United States, there’s been an outbreak of RSV in the last year, with cases growing in late 2022.

Stock Price: Shares of Moderna are up 2% in the past 12 months and are about even in the last 30 days. This is good considering that other health stocks have dropped during that time.

Final Thoughts: Moderna has seen incredible growth in the past few years. In addition to RSV and Covid-19, Moderna is using its technology to target other viruses. The company has been in hot water in recent weeks for suggesting that it would reportedly charge up to $130 for a Covid-19 vaccine.
