Covid-19 roundup: FDA up­dates Mod­er­na vac­cine dose per vial counts; Vir's an­ti­body shows promise against vari­ants

The FDA has re­vised the num­ber of dos­es avail­able for each vial of Mod­er­na’s Covid-19 vac­cine to 11 and an­nounced the avail­abil­i­ty of a new vial that can hold a max­i­mum of 15 dos­es.

The re­vi­sions will help in­crease the sup­ply of vac­cines avail­able, ac­cord­ing to a re­lease. Pres­i­dent Joe Biden has promised enough shots to vac­ci­nate all Amer­i­can adults by late May.

Ul­ti­mate­ly, more vac­cines get­ting to the pub­lic in a time­ly man­ner should help bring an end to the pan­dem­ic more rapid­ly, Pe­ter Marks said in a state­ment.
