by Kevin Dunleavy | Aug 25, 2021 – It’s been a relatively smooth ride for Moderna’s global COVID-19 vaccine roll out. But on Wednesday, the company said it’s investigating the possible contamination of one batch sent to Japan.
The company has received “several complains of particulate matter” in vials of its vaccine, a Moderna spokesperson said over email.
The complaints came from “one product lot” which was distributed in Japan, the representative added. Kyodo News reported that Moderna’s vaccine partner in Japan, Takeda, has suspended the use of 1.63 million doses.
Moderna said it believes an issue affecting a production line at a contract manufacturing facility in Spain is responsible.
Last June, Spanish CDMO Rovi signed up to produce “hundreds of millions” of doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. In April, the company revealed that it would begin producing bulk drug substance—in addition to bottling doses—from its plant in Grenada, Spain. Previously, the manufacturer received active vaccine ingredient from Switzerland. more
