Summary
Moderna's CEO, Stephane Bancel, testified before the Senate health committee on the pricing of the company's Covid-19 vaccine. The company plans to charge $130 per dose once the vaccination program moves to the private market. Senator Bernie Sanders criticized the price hike in a letter to Bancel in January, but Moderna said it would create an assistance program to keep the vaccine free for uninsured or underinsured individuals.
