Drugmaker Moderna Inc hopes to be able to deliver the Covid-19 vaccines it has promised to Germany faster than originally planned, Dan Staner, its European head, has told the WirtschaftsWoche weekly, according to Reuters.

“Moderna hopes to provide the doses planned for Germany in the third quarter earlier to support the fastest possible progress on vaccinations,” Staner has said.

He has confirmed that Moderna will definitely be able to deliver around 80 million doses in total for 2021, as expected by the German health ministry.
