We told you about that last week.
Now the Trump administration has inked a $1.5 billion deal with my Moderna Inc., one of the companies already producing a vaccine before proof it works.
Trump said the company is on track to rapidly produce 100 million doses as soon as a vaccine is approved and up to 500 million shortly after that.
The deal with Moderna is part of “Operation Warp Speed” which is the government’s push to get a vaccine available as quickly and safely as possible.
