The authorities have an agreement with Moderna to produce 100 million doses of the candidate vaccine, Trump said.
The authorities are also cooperating with other development companies, he said.
“Three vaccine candidates have now reached the third and final stage of clinical trials. We are investing in the development and production of vaccines, ”TASS quotes the US president.
He added that the country is "on track to rapidly produce 100 million doses once the vaccine is approved."
“After that there may soon be 500 million doses, so there will be 600 million doses,” the American leader said.
In late July, the Financial Times, citing sources, reported that Moderna intends to sell its coronavirus vaccine for $ 50-60 per vaccination course.
