- The United States government will pay Johnson & Johnson over $1 billion for 100 million doses of its potential coronavirus vaccine, its latest such arrangement as the race to tame the pandemic intensifies, the drugmaker said on Wednesday. It said it would deliver the vaccine to the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority on a not-for-profit basis to be used after approval or emergency use authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration .

J&J has already received $1 billion in funding from the U.S. government - BARDA agreed in March to provide that money for the company to build manufacturing capacity for more than 1 billion doses of the experimental vaccine. The latest contract equates to roughly $10 per vaccine dose produced by J&J. Including the first $1 billion deal with the U.S government, the price would be slightly higher than the $19.50 per dose that the United States is paying for the vaccine being developed by Pfizer Inc (

😠😠😠😠😠

Is the deal contingent on 'success' of phase III trial and FDA approval?

Why has the federal government purchased 200 million doses? Are they handling distribution? If so, how will distribution be determined?

What? Is this weekly *breaking news* now? Either I have a persistent and specific case of deja vu or 'news' identical to this was released at least a week ago. Only the big pharma name is different.

Congratulations for the choice...🙄😎

understand coronavirus vaccine and the three vaccine candidates now. Coronavirus Vaccines Candidates works only under these conditions.

TO We the People: Are you going to pay for your own enslavement?

So the same pharma people who (will) earn billions of dollars for a bogus vaccine are the same people who keep telling us how bad the virus is and HDCQ doesn't work? Or did I misunderstand something?

all about the money

Apple Cider vinegar (Doctor Henry+27685371867 ).

Trust Russian vaccine would be way to go, instead paying inflated prices

So not only is Reuter’s absolute bollocks but their comments are too

Gates can have all of em

Any price is worth it if it works!❣ praying this is it❣🙏❣

For which strain is this one ? A/B/C/A1/.......

Cheap!!! compared to what they are dishing out in stimulus.

10 bucks a pop. Not too bad.

That‘s 10 bucks a dose for you idiots
