U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration on Saturday stopped a Baltimore manufacturing plant that ruined 15 million doses of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine from making one other vaccine developed by AstraZeneca, the New York Times reported on Saturday.
The administration has put Johnson & Johnson accountable for the troubled manufacturing plant, the report mentioned.
The U.S. Health and Human Services’ extraordinary step will render the Emergent BioSolutions facility solely devoted to creating the Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine and is supposed to keep away from future mix-ups, in accordance with the report, which cites two senior federal well being officers.
Johnson & Johnson mentioned it was “assuming full responsibility”, confirming the adjustments, the report added.
