TOKYO/ NEW YORK -- About 1.6 million doses of Moderna's coronavirus vaccine have been taken out of use in Japan because of contamination reported in some vials, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare said early Thursday.
Several vaccination centers have reported that vaccine vials contained foreign matter, according to an announcement from the ministry, which added it will seek to minimize the impact of the withdrawal on the country's inoculation program.
The ministry said later in the day that the substance that had been mixed in may have been metal. "It's a substance that reacts to magnets," a ministry official said. "It could be metal."
Takeda Pharmaceutical handles distribution of the U.S.-developed Moderna vaccine in Japan.
Nasdaq-listed Moderna confirmed receiving "several complaints of particulate matter" in vaccine vials distributed in Japan but said it had found "no safety or efficacy issues" related to these reports.
"The company is investigating the reports and remains committed to working transparently and expeditiously with its partner, Takeda, and regulators to address any potential concerns," a Moderna spokesperson told Nikkei, saying the drugmaker believed a "manufacturing issue" at a plant in Spain was the cause.
The vaccine lot in question and two adjacent lots have been put on hold "out of an abundance of caution," the spokesperson said.
The Japanese ministry has not halted the use of Moderna vaccines in other batches, deeming them safe.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told reporters on Thursday afternoon that he had instructed the ministry to look into the case with safety as the top priority, adding he had received reports that the withdrawal "won't have a significant impact on the country's vaccination campaign."
The Moderna vaccine was granted emergency-use authorization in Japan in May.
So what kinda ferrous metal is it? Does anyone know?

Geez, do some of your own research, I have read that upwards of 90% and more of the jab is graphene oxide. We have been reading for months that magnets are sticking to people. Actually, the Japanese are way behind the curve.
As a previous post indicated, graphene oxide is not a ferrous metal.
Next time read the whole thread. :)
Hang the POS and his accomplice.

Thank you. I always appreciate a straight answer over a snarky remark.
Honest I don’t know chemistry or metallurgy well enough to know what that is that you describe, but I can go read up on it.
:)
...at the link you graciously provided.
Thanks again.
Fauci should have been imprisoned years ago over his AZT scandal, he’s been a corrupt pos for decades. Here’s a 2 minute video of what Kary Mullis (Nobel Prize for discovering PCR) thought about Fauci back in the 90’s.

Thank you.
Fair enough, but that’s not graphene.
They’re creating a substance with a reaction via Iron Oxide.
What would be the point in injecting people with that?
This is beyond me. I studied ChemE in college, but this abstract is more medical than chemical engineering based...
Yeah that particular study used graphene oxide –Fe3O4 nanoparticle, but certain forms of graphene acquire this ‘paramagnetic’ property without being attached to a iron compound. This substance has a number of unusual properties. I’m no chemist either, just undergraduate college chemistry.
Interesting, thanks for the link.
