April 8 (Reuters) - Moderna Inc (MRNA.O) said on
Friday it was recalling 764,900 doses of its COVID-19 vaccine
made by its contract manufacturer Rovi (ROVI.MC) after a vial
was found contaminated by a foreign body.
No safety issues have been identified, Moderna said about the
lots that were distributed in Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain
and Sweden in January.
The drugmaker said the contamination was found in just one vial,
and it was recalling the whole lot out of "an abundance of
caution". It did not disclose what was found in the vial.
Japanese authorities last year suspended the use
of some doses of the vaccine, which Moderna later recalled,
after an investigation found stainless steel contaminants
in some vials.

Over 900 million doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine have
been administered worldwide to date.
Moderna said on Friday it did not believe the
contamination posed a risk to other vials in the lot. (No
science. Belief system apparently deemed adequate)
