FDA To Allow Moderna To Put More Vaccine Doses Per Vial; J&J Trials Begin Vaccinating Teens
(Washington, DC) — The FDA is allowing Moderna to put 50-percent more vaccine in each vial and Johnson & Johnson has begun testing its vaccine on teens. Moderna currently manufactures 10 dose vials, but the FDA’s decision will allow the company to put up to 15 doses in each vial. Moderna says this will help them to distribute doses more quickly and ultimately bring an end to the pandemic. Meanwhile, Johnson & Johnson is starting a vaccine trial on teens between 12-and-17-years-old. The pharmaceutical company says developing vaccines that are safe for everyone will help combat the virus with the goal to return to everyday life. This comes after Pfizer conducted a study that found its COVID-19 vaccine was proven safe and effective for kids ages 12 to 15.
