Moderna Awarded Tender for the Supply of Its mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine in the
European Union
The Agreement provides participating countries with the opportunity to
diversify their mRNA COVID-19 vaccine supply and gain access to pre-filled
syringe vaccine formats
CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESS Newswire (https://www.accessnewswire.com/) / January
24, 2025 / Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) today announced that it has been
awarded a tender for the supply of its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in the European
Union (EU), Norway and North Macedonia. Under the resulting agreement, 17
participating countries can access Moderna's mRNA COVID-19 vaccine for up to
four years.
"This agreement presents an opportunity for Moderna to support and strengthen
national COVID-19 vaccination campaigns across participating countries," said
Chantal Friebertshäuser, Senior Vice President, General Manager - Europe
& Middle-East, Moderna. "Diversity of supply and availability of vaccine
formats such as pre-filled syringes are vital to help increase vaccination
rates and enhance vaccination campaign efficiency, ultimately strengthening
health security."
Under the agreement, Moderna can provide its COVID-19 vaccine in several
formats, including prefilled syringes. This is the preferred product
presentation for healthcare providers as it can decrease the risk of
administration errors and save time, which may ultimately improve vaccination
campaign efficiency.
In September 2024, the European Commission (EC) granted marketing
authorization for an updated formulation of Moderna's COVID-19 mRNA vaccine
Spikevax, targeting the SARS-CoV-2 variant JN.1, for active immunization to
prevent COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals six months of age and
older.
