Moderna Offers Free COVID-19 Vaccinations to its Company

Moderna, Inc. announced late on December 29, 2020, 'To provide an additional layer of disease protection as Moderna workers conduct essential services in developing, manufacturing and delivering a COVID-19 vaccine, Moderna is making its experimental COVID-19 vaccine available to its workers, contractors, and board members in the USA under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA).

Additionally, 'the program will extend to our team's adult household members to reduce the risk of absenteeism and disruption due to a COVID-19 infection in an adult household member. Participation in the program is confidential and entirely voluntary.'

To ensure full transparency, the 'Company notified appropriate health authorities about the program in advance and will participate in all relevant monitoring and reporting obligations under the EUA.'

Previously, the U.S. FDA issued a EUA on December 11, 2020, for Moderna's COVID-19 Vaccine to be distributed in the U.S. for use in individuals 18 years of age and older.
