Moderna aiming to make up to one billion doses of Covid-19 vaccine this year

Paris, Jan 08: Moderna's COVID-19 mRNA vaccine is likely to offer protection for a couple of years, the chief executive of the company said.

The US biotech company which came up with the vaccine, received approval for its shot from the European Commission on Wednesday.

Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel said at an event organised by financial services group Oddo BHF that the nightmare scenario that was described in the media in the spring with a vaccine only working a month or two is, I think, out of the window.
