Swiss to destroy more than 620000 expired Moderna COVID doses

Switzerland will destroy more than 620,000 expired doses of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine, health officials said on Friday, as demand for the shots drops dramatically. 'It was consciously accepted that under certain circumstances too much vaccine was procured for Switzerland's needs,' a spokesperson for the Federal Office of Public Heath said, confirming a report by broadcaster RTS. 'The aim is to protect the population in Switzerland at all times with sufficient quantities of the most effective vaccines available.'
