Companies developing coronavirus vaccines, such as AstraZeneca (L:AZN) and Johnson & Johnson (N:JNJ), have flagged potential supply shortages of glass vials, which could pose a challenge to scaling up the production of a vaccine.
Amid surging global demand, billions of vials will be needed for vaccines of the new coronavirus, with world leaders looking towards treatments as a way to re-open stalled economies.
Corning said it would provide priority access of its vials to companies that have tied up with Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority for developing treatments and vaccines.
