Moderna Delays17 Nov 2020 16:22
The boss of Moderna, the company behind one of the Covid vaccines whose initial trial results have recently been announced, has warned that long negotiations over purchasing the new vaccine will slow down deliveries to European countries.
Stephane Bancel told AFP news agency that other nations who have signed deals will get priority. The UK has already signed a deal with Moderna to supply five million doses from next spring.
βIt is clear that with a delay this is not going to limit the total amount but it is going to slow down delivery,β he said.
