All the panelists said safety would not be compromised.<\/p>\n<p>The Food and Drug Administration <a data-track-label=\"inline|intext|n\/a\" href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/2020\/06\/30\/fda-coronavirus-vaccine-would-have-least-50-effective\/5349964002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">released extensive guidance<\/a> covering what would be necessary for a vaccine to be approved on June 30.

Should all Americans be able to get a shot for free?<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Johnson &#038; Johnson<\/h2>\n<p>Johnson &#038; Johnson will charge one price globally for its vaccine, regardless of country or income tier, said\u00a0Douoguih.<\/p>\n<p>It plans to manufacture at least 400,000 doses of its candidate vaccine in the United States, she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The company is committed to making an affordable COVID-19 vaccine available on a &#8220;not-for-profit basis for emergency pandemic use,&#8221; she said. It will pursue external validation for calculating the price point and will make an external audit or certification available.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The company has received approximately $500\u00a0million from Operation Warp Speed for its work.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson &#038; Johnson plans to being testing its vaccine candidate in humans late this month in the United States and Belgium. If preliminary results are positive, it will launch\u00a0a global Phase 3 clinical trial in September.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Phase 3 trials are the final and largest testing stage for vaccines\u00a0once they have become established, don&#8217;t\u00a0cause immediate adverse effects and provoke an immune response. COVID-19 Phase 3 trials will involve 30,000 patients for each vaccine candidate and take many months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Merck<\/h2>\n<p>U.S. pharmaceutical company Merck is pursuing two possible vaccine candidates. It is focused on its long track record developing vaccines and the need for safety, and was\u00a0open-minded about the possibility that a breakthrough is not a given.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If approaches developed by others ultimately are proven superior to those being pursued by Merck, we will work to support those efforts for the benefit of global health during the pandemic,&#8221; said\u00a0Gerberding.<\/p>\n<p>Merck holds the record for creating the fastest vaccine ever brought to market, a mumps vaccine in 1967 that took four years from start to finish. But the company has repeatedly emphasized safety over speed in its COVID-19 work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeed is important, but we will not compromise scientific efficacy, quality, and above all, safety, despite the sense of urgency we all feel,\u201d said Gerberding in\u00a0testimony provided to the committee.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s\u00a0CEO, Kenneth Fraizer, said on June 30\u00a0a vaccine can&#8217;t be rushed and rigorous science is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When people tell the public that there&#8217;s going to be a vaccine by the end of 2020, for example, I think they do a grave disservice to the public,&#8221; he said during an interview with the Harvard Business School.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Merck has received $38 million for vaccine research from the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, BARDA.<\/p>\n<h2>Moderna<\/h2>\n<p>Moderna has made agreements with a Swiss-based vaccine manufacturer with sites in the United States and around the world, which will allow it to reach an annual manufacturing capacity of more than 500 million doses, said company president Dr. Stephen Hoge.<\/p>\n<p>Its candidate vaccine research has been partially facilitated by $536 million from Operation Warp Speed.<\/p>\n<p>Moderna, headquartered in Massachusetts, hopes to begin\u00a0Phase 3 clinical trials of its vaccine candidate this month,\u00a0Hoge\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<p>Phase 1 results\u00a0were presented last week. The vaccine\u00a0appears to be safe and to trigger an immune response. Whether the immune response is enough to protect someone from the\u00a0coronavirus\u00a0that causes COVID-19 remains unclear, according to several experts who reviewed the results.<\/p>\n<p>The company has already enrolled 600 volunteers in its Phase 2 studies, Hoge said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Pfizer<\/h2>\n<p>Alone among the five companies testifing\u00a0Tuesday, Pfizer has not taken any money from the U.S. government as it works on four different vaccine candidates for COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are uniquely positioned with the scientific expertise and experience, manufacturing scale and financial resources to have the potential to deliver a potential vaccine without funding from the federal government,&#8221; John Young, Pfizer&#8217;s chief business officer, said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n<p>He anticipated the company will invest about $1 billion in its vaccine development efforts during 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pfizer is partnering with a German biotech company\u00a0BioNTech to work on a COVID-19 vaccine. It is currently running early state clinical trials in the U.S. and the European Union.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last week it announced two of its four vaccine candidates had received fast-track designation from the FDA. It hopes to begin Phase 2 testing later this month.<\/p>\n<p>The company believes it could be submitting an application in to the FDA as early as October, Young said.<\/p>\n<p>If the\u00a0clinical trials progress well, the company\u00a0hopes to manufacture up to 100 million doses by the end of 2020, and potentially more than 1.3 billion doses in 2021 globally, Young\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have great confidence that our industry can prevail in the ultimate outcome of our battle against COVID-19 \u2014 and that science will win,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"article-body-p-last\"><em>Contributing: Karen Weintraub\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Read or Share this story: https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/health\/2020\/07\/21\/top-covid-vaccine-makers-safe-cheap-doses-may-ready-early-2021\/5478232002\/<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section id=\"module-position-S4Np4EXseQ4\">\n<div>\n<p><a data-track-label=\"thejobnetwork|thejobnetwork\" href=\"https:\/\/jobs.usatoday.com\/Jobs\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/uxstatic\/usatoday\/usat-web-static-5015.54.0\/images\/jobs-logo.png\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"module-position-S4Np4EWieNM\"><\/section>\n<section id=\"module-position-S4Np4EX_Ns4\"><\/section>\n<section id=\"module-position-S4Np4EXEDk0\">\n<div>\n<h6>Find New &#038; Used Cars<\/h6>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.cars.com\/\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\">\n<p><label for=\"cars-form-radio-new\">New Cars<\/label><label for=\"cars-form-radio-used\">Used Cars<\/label><\/p>\n<p>of<\/p>\n<p>Powered by <span>Cars.com<\/span><\/p>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/health\/2020\/07\/21\/top-covid-vaccine-makers-safe-cheap-doses-may-ready-early-2021\/5478232002\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLOSE COVID survivors&#8217; main symptoms can linger for weeks or even months, causing pain, trouble breathing, nightmares and even organ failure.
