“Several black particles” – Japan discovers another contaminated Moderna vial
Health authorities in Japan state they’ve found another vial of Moderna’s COVID vaccine to be contaminated with foreign substances
Japan’s Kanagawa prefecture confirmed it has found another vial of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine suspected of containing a foreign substance and as a result has put the rest of the lot on hold.
In a statement, prefectural authorities stated that a pharmacist discovered “several black particles” in one vial upon checking for foreign substances before the vaccine’s use.
Just last week, Japan suspended the use of 1.63 million doses of Moderna after being notified of contamination in a supply batch.
Moderna responds:
Moderna and Spanish pharma company Rovi, which bottles the Moderna branded vaccines, confirmed that the cause could be a manufacturing issue.
European safety regulators have now launched an investigation.
Moderna upholds that no safety or efficacy issues had been identified from the issue.
