Under the agreement, the US government will receive 105 million doses (30µg, 10µg and 3µg) of the vaccine, brand name Comirnaty, which has already generated mega sales of $36.8 billion in 2021.

This may include adult Omicron-adapted COVID-19 vaccines, subject to authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The doses are planned to be delivered as soon as late summer 2022 and continue into the fourth quarter of this year.
