Japan blocks another million doses Modern, the stock falls on the stock market
Over the weekend, another million doses of the Moderna vaccine were suspended over concerns of possible contamination found in two other batches of the vaccine. This is after the death of two Japanese citizens, who do not seem to be linked to this batch of blocked additional vaccines anyway
Over the past two weeks, contaminants have been found in approximately 40 unused vials from the same batch. The material, of a metallic nature, was found in some vials and had already led to the block of 1.63 million vials.
In Gunma prefecture northwest of Tokyo, a black substance was found in a modern vaccine vial, Japan was reported. In Okinawa, south of the mainland, a black substance was found in syringes and a vial, while a pink substance was found in another syringe.
Last week, Moderna said it had traced the problem to a production line in Spain, where one of its manufacturing partners makes the vaccines. The Rovi laboratories, where the final phase of processing takes place, the so-called F&F, testified on Thursday that the contamination was limited to the only batch product bound for Japan. The company added that it is investigating the problem and is in communication with the Japanese health authorities.
“At this time, we will not make any further comment to the media until the investigation is complete and there are solid conclusions,” a spokesperson Rovi wrote in an email.
The two vaccinated deaths were 30 and 38 years old, but there is no evidence of a link to the blocked batches.
"At this time, we have no evidence that these deaths are caused by the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine and it is important to conduct a formal investigation to determine if there is any connection," Moderna and Takeda said in an email statement.
In the meantime, however, Moderna shares lost over 8.53% in five days
