Moderna announced that this year’s COVID-19 vaccine global production has increased from the previous 500 million doses to 600 million doses.
Based on this, it can be seen that it has increased by 20% from the previous forecast.
The maximum forecast is 1 billion doses, which seems to be a plan to make vaccines from a minimum of 600 million doses to a maximum of 1 billion doses and supply them worldwide.
Moderna says it will supply the US government with 100 million batches by the end of March and an additional 100 million batches by the end of June.
Earlier, Modena signed a contract with the Korean government on the 31st of last month to supply 40 million doses of its own vaccine, or 20 million vaccines.
