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

Tue, 2021-03-02 16:48 — mike kraft

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

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.
