The pandemic has brought an unprecedented partnership into the limelight. Former rivals Merck and Johnson & Johnson are working together to produce a new single-shot version of the vaccine.
“Extraordinary times take extraordinary efforts,” said Alex Gorsky, who is the CEO of Johnson & Johnson.
His company’s vaccine just received FDA clearance to distribute their one-dose drug that is 66% effective at keeping the virus at bay. Their vaccine is also 86% effective at keeping recipients from getting severely sick, and it was 100% effective at preventing deaths and hospitalizations, data shows.
Merck is apparently lending a couple of its facilities for the drug’s production.
“The real war here is against [the virus], and I couldn’t think of a better partner than Merck, a company with an incredibly strong reputation,” said Gorsky. “We think it’s going to add considerably to our capabilities both near and in the long term.”
