The Trump administration has bought an additional 100 million COVID-19 vaccine doses from Moderna, officials announced on Friday, after reports emerged that it missed an opportunity to buy tens of millions of doses from Pfizer.
Iâm looking at the Johnson & Johnson vacccine- If all goes well it will be approved in February and it will only require one shot not two plus doesnât have to be stored at -80 Celsius.
The Trump administration said that Moderna would finish supplying the additional 100 million doses by the end of June.
Quite the delay but better than nothing. 300 million doses total means 150 million can be vaccinated, there are about 210 million people over the age of 18 in the US so that should cover all the people who are willing to get vaccinated by late 2021 except children (the little super spreaders that they are).
Lets just hope Trump hasnât screwed up the paper work.
