Domenico Arcuri, chairman of the Corona 19 Emergency Response Committee under the Italian government, revealed the details of Modena's notification through a briefing.
Modena announced that it would deliver only 132,000 doses, down 20% from the original contract volume of 166,000 doses, in the middle of next month.
It is reported that Moderna has previously informed France of a plan to reduce supply by 25% next month.
