After waiting and waiting a long time, Moderna CEO Stephan Bansel revealed this Sunday the expected price of the Corona virus vaccine, produced by his company, which has achieved very promising results in the testing phase, and the world is expecting its release in a few weeks.
Bansel told the German daily “Welt am Sonntag” that “Moderna” will set a price for governments between $ 25 and $ 37 for each dose of the vaccine, depending on the quantity required.
He was quoted as saying: “Our vaccine costs about the same as the flu vaccine, which ranges from $ 10 to $ 50,” according to “Reuters.”

Nothing has been signed yet. But we are close to reaching an agreement with the European Commission, adding that it is “a matter of days” until the contract is ready.
Moderna revealed that its experimental vaccine is 94.5% effective in preventing the Corona virus, based on temporary data from clinical trials that have reached a late stage, making the American company the second developer. in delivering results that far exceeded expectations, after Pfizer and its partner, Biontech.
The European Union has been holding talks with “Moderna” about its experimental vaccine for the Corona virus, at least since last July, according to “Reuters”.
