U.S. Governmnent Inks $75 Million Contract for Recently Approved Anthrax Vaccines
The Gateway Pundit reported in July that the FDA approved Emergent BioSolution’s new anthrax vaccine for adults 18-65.
The FDA approved Emergent Biosolution’s Cyfendus for use following any confirmed or suspected exposure to anthrax, but it was also noted it must be administered with antibacterial drugs.
Now Emergent BioSolutions has announced that the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) has “exercised an option valued on an existing deal to procure additional doses of its recently approved anthrax vaccine Cyfendus (AV7909).”
The additional doses bought by BARDA will cost an additional $75 million.
