Baxter Will Help Manufacture 60-90 Million Moderna Vaccine Doses

Moderna has struck a deal with Baxter International to perform fill and finish work for an estimated 60 to 90 million doses of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine in 2021 at its plant in Bloomington, Indiana.

 “This additional production will help us continue to scale up our manufacturing capacity in the United States.” said Juan Andres, Moderna’s chief technical operations and quality officer.

Last month, the U.S. government purchased 100 million more doses of Moderna’s messenger RNA-based vaccine, and the company plans to deliver its second batch of 100 million doses by the end of May.
