Moderna Inc's (MRNA.O) COVID-19 vaccine contamination woes in Japan have widened with another million doses being temporarily suspended, after foreign substances were found in more batches and two people died following shots from affected lots.
The suspension of Moderna supplies, affecting more than 2.6 million does in total, comes as Japan battles its worst wave of COVID-19 yet, driven by the contagious Delta variant, with new daily infections exceeding 25,000 this month for the first time amid a slow vaccine rollout.
The latest reports of vaccine contamination came from Gunma prefecture near Tokyo and the southern prefecture of Okinawa, prompting the suspension on Sunday of two more lots in addition to the 1.63 million doses already pulled last week.
A tiny black substance was found in a Moderna vaccine vial in Gunma, an official from the prefecture said, while in Okinawa, black substances were spotted in syringes and a vial, and pink material was found in a different syringe.
The government had said that no safety or efficacy issues had been identified and that the suspension was a precaution. The causes of death are being investigated.
"If the contaminated substances were dangerous enough to cause death for some people, probably many more people would have suffered from some symptoms after the vaccination.
"However, further investigations are definitely needed to evaluate the harm of the particular doses in question."
Japan earlier halted the use of 1.63 million Moderna doses, shipped to 863 vaccination centres nationwide after the domestic distributor, Takeda Pharmaceutical (4502.T), received reports of contaminants in some vials.
Some 500,000 people received shots from those supplies, Taro Kono, the minister in charge of the vaccine push, has said.

Under this circus, they would never suspend it here in the U.S.
The panic must be unbearable /s over a virus that has a near 100% survival rate.
It seems clear that these are not “contaminants”, but rather ingredients of the vaccine. Why not study it to determine the ingredients, rather than send them back?
A potentially ugly truth?
The fewer Japanese they poison, the better.
If Japan is getting contaminated doses, we are too.
LOL. Just wait until they check out Pfizer and J&J!
There are some hospital employees out demonstrating against the jab. Maybe I’ll go join them for a while.
what a travesty. i wouldn’t want to be one of those 500,000 poor trusting japanese.
this is a mass emergency inoculation program, searching for a pandemic, with all it’s attendant gov’t snafus and murphy’s law generated catastrophes, combined with an underlying, malevolent purpose of stealing away our individual right to informed consent, prepared by evil tools of the devil for just such a global opportunity.
Sorta makes ya wanna rush right and yell “NOPE!”.

NO LOSS to the company.
they will all be seconded by the CDC for use
in breast feeding women in the USA under
CDC-Law-Mandates for American Extermination.
As usual the CDC will not mandate for themselves
because of the actual dangers to the cognoscendi.
Why do you say that?
The Moderna vaccine in the US is manufactured at Lonza in Portsmouth, NH.
The fill and finish is done by another company in the US.
These two companies are not making and bottling the drug for Japan.
But our shots are fine.
I wonder if anyone is actually doing any QC checks here? Kinda doubt it.
Then who is?
But our shots are fine.
Want to bet no one bothers to check and if they do it’s covered up
