South Korea to get more Moderna Covid shots in boost to vaccination effort | Malay Mail

SEOUL, Aug 22 — South Korea’s health ministry said on Sunday that Moderna Inc will supply the country with 7.01 million doses of coronavirus vaccines by the first week of September, following a government request to speed up delivery.

Moderna delivered 1.3 million doses earlier this month. It had at the time informed South Korea that it would only be able to deliver less than half the 8.5 million doses it had been due to ship in August. Under the plan, the country will be able to give 36 million people at least one dose of the vaccine before the Sept. 20-22 Chuseok holiday.

It gave no details of the planned swap, saying more information on the discussion with Romania will be provided as soon as it is finalised.
