Bloomberg News reports that the Biden Administration has signed an $11 million deal to support a company in Michigan. This company is helping make a vaccine against monkeypox, another measure to foster the prevention of the rapidly progressing and spreading the virus.
The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority of The Health and Human Services Department is extending the fund for helping Grand River Aseptic Manufacturing Inc. acquire equipment and personnel to manufacture 2.5 million monkeypox vaccine vials, as per details of the agreement, which Bloomberg viewed.

The support of BARDA is helping ensure success in increasing the capacity available for filling and finishing the vaccine by two times.
