I mentioned to a couple of people that I had a surprise waiting to be shared when Moderna got approval for its updated COVID-19 vaccine. It’s approved, and the big news??? Completely produced domestically!!!!! 🥳🤩 Approved as usual for all aged 6mo+!

Moderna just received Health Canada authorization for its updated LP.8.1 variant COVID-19 vaccine.

The exciting part? It will be manufactured domestically!
Their authorization allows parts of the vaccine to be produced at Moderna’s new facility in Quebec, while the fill-finish will be handled by Novocol Pharma in Ontario. The domestically produced vaccine will be ready for this year’s fall vaccination campaign.
