Pharmaceutical company Moderna says it has struck a deal with the Australian government to provide 25 million doses of its COVID-19 vaccine to the nation.
Moderna says it will provide 10 million doses this year, and 15 million doses of an updated variant booster vaccine in 2022.
If Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration approves the vaccine, Moderna will join AstraZeneca and Pfizer as vaccines approved for Australians.
