Moderna has no plans to share the recipe for its COVID-19 vaccine because executives have concluded that scaling up the company's own production is the best way to increase the global supply, the company's chairman said Monday. The United Nations health agency has pressed Moderna to share its vaccine formula. Moderna can expand production, chairman saysAfeyan said the company analyzed whether it would be better to share the messenger RNA technology and determined that it could expand production and deliver billions of additional doses in 2022. Moderna co-founder and chairman Noubar Afeyan said in an interview Monday that the best way to increase global supply of the COVID-19 vaccine is for Moderna to manufacture it. The COVID-19 vaccine is Moderna's only commercial product.
