Earlier Wednesday, the Biden administration announced that it plans to buy 100 million additional doses of J&J's Covid-19 vaccine. The deal would double the nation's supply of the J&J vaccine as the company already has a deal with the government to provide 100 million doses by the end of June. Last week, Biden announced that Merck would help make J&J's Covid vaccine. One will make the vaccine and the other will provide "fill-finish" services, when the vaccine is placed in vials.

Slavitt also announced that the administration is working with Florida and Pennsylvania to open five additional vaccination centers.

Biden announced Thursday that his administration secured deals with Pfizer and Moderna for another 200 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine, bringing the U.S. total to 600 million. Because both authorized vaccines require two doses given about three to four weeks apart, the total of 600 million doses would be enough to inoculate 300 million people. In addition to securing more doses for states, the Biden administration is using the military to help administer doses and is setting up mass vaccination centers across the nation. On Wednesday, the administration announced it would partner with Texas officials to build three new community vaccination centers, in Dallas, Arlington and Houston. A few days earlier, the administration said it was sending active-duty troops to California to help staff Covid-19 vaccine sites there.

The announcement means some Americans could get the first doses of Moderna's two-dose vaccine within a few weeks.

BioAegis said plasma gelsolin, its lead product, addresses the underserved severe community-acquired pneumonia market, with projected peak sales of $5 billion. Now the company is awaiting FDA and multicountry regulatory approval to start Phase 2 trials of its plasma gelsolin therapy on Covid-19 patients. We've been studying this exact same condition not with this particular virus, but with severe flu, severe pneumonia for years, so we feel like we are in the perfect position to treat this disease. Because BioAegis' recombinant human plasma gelsolin has been manufactured to be identical to the natural human protein, it is not expected to result in serious side effects when supplementing the depleted protein. There is still significant need for agents which modulate the host immune response, such as recombinant human plasma gelsolin.
