Why Moderna Stock Is Slipping Today
Shares of Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) moving 4.5% lower as of 11:57 a.m. EST on Monday. The decline appears to be the direct result of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granting emergency use authorization (EUA) to Johnson & Johnson's (NYSE: JNJ) COVID-19 vaccine over the weekend.
Does Johnson & Johnson's EUA make a difference for Moderna over the short term? Nope. Moderna already has an agreement with the U.S. government to supply 300 million doses of its COVID-19 vaccine. With the supply deals that the U.S. government has lined up with other companies, there will be more than enough vaccine doses to immunize all American adults this year.
