Was October 26, 2026 a new vaccine approved this year?
NO
No — today is a Monday in October; the year's vaccine approvals happened months ago, including Moderna's mFLUSIVA on 5 August.
Why
- FDA approved mFLUSIVA, first mRNA flu vaccine, on 5 Aug 2026
- Updated 2026-2027 COVID-19 shots approved in October, not today
- Today's only distinction: last Monday of the month
