Moderna has received a six-month, $1.97B contract modification from the U.S. Army to manufacture 100M more doses of the company's messenger RNA vaccine against the novel coronavirus.
Army Contracting Command ordered additional filled drug production doses of the mRNA-1273 vaccine from the biotechnology firm by using the first option and acetate-related efforts under a previously awarded contract, the Department of Defense said Monday.
