Merck will join with rival Johnson & Johnson to step up J&J's Covid vaccine production

 

Under a White House-brokered deal, Merck will help boost supplies of its rival Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine

The pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co will help manufacture the new Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine under an unusual deal, brokered by the White House, that could substantially increase the supply of the new vaccine and ramp up the pace of vaccination just as worrisome new variants of the virus have been found in the United States.

The arrangement, first reported by The Washington Post on Tuesday, comes just days after the Food and Drug Administration granted emergency authorization to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
