Pharmaceutical company Moderna Inc announced today that it has withdrawn 764.900 doses of its Covid-19 vaccine after a foreign body was found inside a vial manufactured by Rovi.
These doses were distributed in Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Sweden in January.
The company said the contamination was detected in only one vial and that it was recalling the entire batch for "maximum precautionary measure".
According to Reuters, Moderna said it did not believe the contamination posed a risk to other vials in the batch.
It should be noted that over 900 million doses of Moderna's vaccine have been administered worldwide to date.
Japanese authorities last year suspended the use of some doses of the vaccine, which Moderna later recalled after an investigation found stainless steel contamination in some vials.
