The present invention relates to vaccines comprising at least one mRNA encoding at least one antigen for use in the treatment of a disease in newborns and/or infants, preferably exhibiting an age of not more than 2 years, preferably of not more than 1 year, more preferably of not more than 9 months or even 6 months, wherein the treatment comprises vaccination of the newborn or infant and eliciting an immune response in said newborn or infant. The present invention is furthermore directed to kits and kits of parts comprising such a vaccine and/or its components and to methods applying such a vaccine or kit.

Vaccination in newborns and infants

The present invention relates to a vaccine, especially a combination vaccine providing at least a first and a second antigenic function, the combination vaccine comprising at least one RNA encoding at least one or more proteins or fragments, variants or derivatives of proteins awarding antigenic function, wherein the first antigenic function being a Fusion (F) protein or a fragment, variant or derivative of a Fusion (F) protein derived from the virus family Paramyxoviridae and the second antigenic function being an Hemagglutinin (HA) protein or a fragment, variant or derivative of an Hemagglutinin (HA) protein derived from the virus family Orthomyxoviridae. Furthermore, the present invention is directed to a kit or kit of parts comprising the components of said combination vaccine and to said combination vaccine for use in a method of prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of diseases, particularly in the prevention or treatment of infectious diseases like RSV and influenza.

Combination vaccine

The present invention relates to an mRNA sequence, comprising a coding region, encoding at least one antigenic peptide or protein of RSV infections Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) or a fragment, variant or derivative thereof. Additionally the present invention relates to a composition comprising a plurality of mRNA sequences comprising a coding region, encoding at least one antigenic peptide or protein of RSV infections Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) or a fragment, variant or derivative thereof. Furthermore it also discloses the use of the mRNA sequence or the composition comprising a plurality of mRNA sequences for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition, especially a vaccine, e.g. for use in the prophylaxis or treatment of RSV infections Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections. The present invention further describes a method of treatment or prophylaxis of RSV infections using the mRNA sequence.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine

The present invention relates to an mRNA sequence, comprising a coding region, encoding at least one antigenic peptide or protein of Rabies virus or a fragment, variant or derivative thereof. Additionally the present invention relates to a composition comprising a plurality of mRNA sequences comprising a coding region, encoding at least one antigenic peptide or protein of Rabies virus or a fragment, variant or derivative thereof. Furthermore it also discloses the use of the mRNA sequence or the composition comprising a plurality of mRNA sequences for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition, especially a vaccine, e.g. for use in the prophylaxis or treatment of Rabies virus infections. The present invention further describes a method of treatment or prophylaxis of rabies using the mRNA sequence.

Rabies vaccine

The present invention relates to vaccines comprising at least one mRNA encoding at least one antigen for use in the treatment of a disease in an elderly patient preferably exhibiting an age of at least 50 years, more preferably of at least 55 years, 60 years, 65 years, 70 years, or older, wherein the treatment comprises vaccination of the patient and eliciting an immune response in said patient. The present invention is furthermore directed to kits and kits of parts comprising such a vaccine and/or its components and to methods applying such a vaccine or kit.
