On the 28th, President Moon Jae-in made a phone call with Stephen Bancel, CEO of Modena, an American pharmaceutical company, to secure 20 million copies of the Corona 19 vaccine (40 million doses). The supply was double what 10 million people were negotiating. President Moon agreed to receive vaccine supplies in the second quarter of next year as early as the second quarter of next year with the CEO of Bancell and signed a specific contract within this year.
Blue House spokesman Kang Min-seok said on the 29th: “President Moon made a 27-minute video call with the CEO of Bancell from 9:53 to 10:20 last night (night 28), and Bancell’s CEO had 40 million doses from 20 million people in Korea. ). “The Blue House explained that by signing a contract with Modena within this year, it will ensure a total of 56 million Corona 19 vaccines.
Regarding the current situation announced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the government has completed a purchase contract for a total of 36 million (66 million doses) of vaccine purchase plans for a total of 46 million the day before. If you add the amount agreed between President Moon and CEO Bancell, we have secured 56 million vaccines. Currently, there are four types of vaccines for which the contract has been signed: ‘AstraZeneca’ (20 million doses), ‘Jansen’ (6 million doses), ‘Pfizer’ (20 million doses) and ‘CoVax Facility’ (20 million doses).
President Moon’s direct attempt to secure vaccines is interpreted as a step to break the practical theory of “vaccine supply and demand” of the conservative opposition and the Blue House theory of liability. It is also interpreted as a message that he will focus on responding to Corona 19, which is the biggest public welfare issue before the second half of the rule.
The Blue House said it is leading supply conditions, such as vaccine prices and introduction time, to an advantage. Spokesman Kang said: “Along with the expansion of the purchase volume, the purchase price will decrease.” “We decided to speed up the vaccine supply period. “Modena initially decided to supply supply from the third quarter of next year, but we decided to start from the second quarter.” A Casa Azul official added: “The vaccination time could be sped up accordingly.”
In a phone call with Bancell’s CEO, President Moon also agreed that the National Institute of Infectious Diseases of Korea and Modena signed a research and development agreement (MOU) for a “ cooperative response to the Corona 19 pandemic. ” . Along with this, it has decided to strengthen cooperation so that Korean companies can consign the production of Corona 19 vaccine developed by Modena.
CEO Bancell said: “I know that the Korean government is attaching great importance to the development of new biopharmaceuticals and that large Korean companies have a large production capacity.” “The production capacity was insufficient, but it will be possible to develop a large-scale production capacity during the production of the shipment.” Revealed. President Moon replied, “We welcome Modena’s proposal” and said, “We will spare no effort to support the government in establishing a system of close cooperation between Modena and Korean pharmaceutical companies and promoting joint research.
Yang Dong-gyo, head of the Medical Safety Prevention Office at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a briefing: “I think considering Modena’s technology and Korea’s excellent production capacity will benefit mutually, we will seek a concrete cooperation plan. “
