He added that "we've been having quite intense discussions with governments across Europe" to get Covid vaccine supply from Moderna.
He is referring to the European Union's massive renegotiated Covid vaccine supply contract with Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech .
Its shares are up nearly 20% this year on increasing confidence around its pipeline and messenger RNA platform, which is the technology used in its Covid vaccine and RSV shot.
Moderna is also developing a stand-alone flu shot, a personalized cancer vaccine with Merck and shots for latent viruses, among other products.
