Moderna Inc is recalling 764,900 doses of its COVID-19 Spikevax vaccine after a vial, made by its contract manufacturer Rovi, was found contaminated by an unspecified foreign body.
The recalled doses had been delivered to 5 European countries: Norway, Sweden, Spain, Portugal and Poland, in January, he said.
“Hence, people who have received Moderna jabs or are waiting for booster jabs do not have to worry about this issue,” he wrote in a Blockdit post.
Chalermchai said Moderna recalled the doses because contamination was found in one vial, adding that the company did not clarify what was found in the vial.
“Moderna said the doses in question were made by its contracted manufacturer, Rovi, in Spain,” he said.
Rovi was also behind the recall of 1.63 million doses in Japan last September after 39 vials were found to be contaminated with stainless steel.
Moderna said the contamination was found in just one vial, and it was recalling the whole out of “an abundance of caution”.
Furthermore, the vaccine vial was sent for forensic analysis and study.
Moderna said it did not believe the contamination posed a risk to other vials in the lot.
Moderna carried out a collective search of its global safety database and claims no safety issues were reported in people who took the vaccine from this lot, though that is technically impossible as according to Eudravigilance data, Moderna killed 11.000 Europeans and crippled half a million.
