Johnson & Johnson has found a batch of coronavirus vaccine that does not meet quality standards, the company said. Supplier Emergent BioSolutions at a plant in Baltimore manufactured the batch. This batch was not poured into ampoules and was not admitted to the final stages of production, the report said.<\/p>\n

Against this background, shares of Emergent BioSolutions on the New York Stock Exchange fell 14.56% to $ 79. Shares of Johnson & Johnson fell 1.1% to $ 162.55 per share.<\/p>\n
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have not yet certified emergent BioSolutions for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Due to the incident, the regulator began inspecting the plant.<\/p>\n
Emergent BioSolutions is a partner of Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca. According to The New York Times, workers at the subcontractor’s factory accidentally mixed ingredients from Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccines. After that, Johnson & Johnson tightened control over the work of Emergent BioSolutions to avoid additional losses, the publication said.<\/p>\n
A manufacturing error at a coronavirus vaccine plant resulted in the loss of 15 million doses of Johnson & Johnson, Bloomberg reported, citing two sources familiar with the situation.<\/p>\n
The coronavirus vaccine, developed by Johnson & Johnson, was approved in the United States in February. Johnson & Johnson has become the third vaccine approved for use in the United States in an emergency. It requires only one injection. The company intends to supply 100 million single-dose vaccines to the United States in the first half of 2021. By the end of the year, Johnson & Johnson expects to deliver more than one billion doses of the vaccine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":128007,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-128005","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/128005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=128005"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=128005"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=128005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
