A Moderna spokesperson said the company was in discussions with governments about potential supply of the coronavirus vaccine, called mRNA-1273, but did not share any details on pricing “given the confidential nature of the discussions and contracts.”

The final price for Moderna’s COVID vaccine has yet to be determined, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters. Pfizer, Moderna and Merck & Co are planning to sell their vaccines at a profit, while some other drugmakers, including Johnson & Johnson, have announced their plans to price coronavirus vaccines on a not-for-profit basis.
