Moderna Inc. will sell an additional 50 million doses of its Covid-19 vaccine and its updated variant booster candidate, if authorized, to Japan's government and Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., doubling the size of its prior supply agreement.

Moderna said it is responsible for the manufacture and supply of its vaccine candidate. Takeda, with the support of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan and Moderna, is responsible for all import, local regulatory, development and distribution activities in Japan for the additional 50 million doses beginning in 2022, Moderna said.
