Moderna is also pursuing a combination flu and COVID-19 vaccine, with trials set to start this year. 

It's not the only company preparing to do so, as the messenger RNA platform is now being viewed more favorably during the pandemic.

The trajectory has set the stage for other products in the pipeline to move forward. That includes niche diseases, as well as a personalized cancer vaccine in partnership with Merck (MRK).

Regulatory authorities "did a lot of extraordinary things" for the COVID-19 vaccines, and Moderna will not rush approval for a vaccine in an already saturated market, the CEO said.
