(CBN News) While pharmaceutical companies worldwide test an estimated 70 possible coronavirus vaccines, the US government is making plans to get the vaccine to the American public as quickly as possible.
The Department of Health and Human Services in conjunction with the Department of Defense awarded Apiject Systems America a $138 million contract to supply 100 million pre-filled syringes for the coronavirus vaccine by the end of this year and to supply more than 500 million next year.
Apiject CEO Jay Walker told CBN News the prefilled syringes will be manufactured using the “Blow, Fill, Seal” technology used to make pre-filled, single-use eyedrops with which many consumers are familiar.
