mRNA flu vax in Cary?

Do any Cary pharmacies stock the new mRNA flu vax?

I would encourage you to use the CVS vaccination portal to check. Roll out is in very limited supplies and limited to age 50+.

Can confirm my in-laws and I got ours at CVS but as mentioned, only because we're all 50 and older.

I got my flu and Covid (Moderna) shots last weekend at Harris Teeter across from Cary High. I'm 31 and they didn't seem to mind at all.

You probably got the regular flu shot, which is similar. The limited mRNA version is the one that’s restricted.

Ah my bad, I just read mRNA and jumped straight to the Covid vaccine lol. Yeah I was given the normal flu shot.

What sort of testing was done on the mRNA jab? Human studies? Long term studies

Moderna has been in the mRNA research since 2011, a year after they formed. It’s why they are named ModeRNA
