US stockpiling 3 different types of coronavirus vaccines through 'Operation Warp Speed'https://www.foxbusiness.com/healthcare/us-stockpiling-three-different-types-of-coronavirus-vaccines-through-operation-warp-speedThe U.S. has already manufactured and stockpiled "hundreds of thousands of doses" of coronavirus vaccines in the hopes that one will be effective in combating the virus, a senior administration official said Tuesday.
The Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed has doses -- none of which have been approved or authorized for use -- from three companies the U.S. government already paid for the vaccine manufacturing process. Should the Food and Drug Administration give them clearance, the vaccines would be ready to be deployed.
The official declined to specify which companies had manufactured the three different vaccine types.
Based on whose vaccines are already in Phase III testing and the existing conditional contracts I'm aware of, I'm going to guess that the three companies are AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Pfizer. There are other companies with whom the government has conditional contracts, but these are the three companies who currently are in Phase III testing.
