Moderna is preparing for the global launch of its potential coronavirus vaccine, taking જમા 1.1 billion in deposits from governments awaiting potential life-saving drugs, the biotech company said in its third-quarter earnings report on Thursday.
The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company said it was in ongoing talks with the World Health Organization-backed CVAX initiative on a possible rental proposal for the vaccine, which it calls a temporary MRNA-1273. It already has supply agreements in North America, the Middle East and other regions of the world.
“We are actively preparing for the launch of MRNA-1273 and we have signed a number of supply agreements with governments around the world,” Moder CEO Stephen Bansal said in a press release. “Moderna is committed to the highest data quality standards and strict scientific research as we continue to work with regulators to advance MRNA-1273.”

As of last week, more than 25,650 participants had received second in the company’s two-dose Covid-19 vaccine. The company said that about 37% of the participants were from different communities and 5% were at risk of serious illness.
