J&J’s COVID Vaccine Contract With US Bucks Trend Of Increasingly Lucrative Deals
Executive Summary
Estimated $14 price per dose for Janssen’s investigational vaccine is first drop in value since Operation Warp Speed started signing contracts. The $1bn purchase order for 100 million doses and earlier $456m for development work is considerably less lucrative than the $2.1bn deal with GSK/Sanofi announced last week, especially since Janssen’s product may end up being a one-dose regimen.
