1:01Now PlayingJohnson & Johnson is looking for manufacturing partnerships to increase supply of its Covid-19 vaccine that was cleared Saturday by U.S. regulators, Chief Executive Officer Alex Gorsky said.
J&J will deliver 3.9 million doses of its one-shot vaccine within the next 24 to 48 hours, Gorsky said Monday in a telephone interview. The company wants to speed up its timeline of supplying enough vaccines to immunize 20 million Americans by the end of the month and a total of 100 million by the end of June, he said.
“We are doing everything we can partnering with the U.S. government and other external manufacturers to see what we can do to accelerate and increase that number as well,” Gorsky said.
“J&J distribution and delivery will be uneven across these early weeks in March,” said Jeff Zients, the Biden administration’s Covid-19 response coordinator, at a White House briefing on Monday. “The company expects the delivery to be predominantly in the back half of the month.”
