They were planning to switch to a US source for US. But Emergent screwed up 15 million of doses, and the other doses they made are also in question-they are getting those checked for contamination.
So what you got was made in Netherlands as far as I can tell, since none of what has been made in US by Emergent has been released into the public.

Pfizer Made in Germany after work by two Islamic scientists from Turkey.

Moderna Developed @ Vanderbilt (the Dolly Shot) outside of Trump's "Operation Warp Speed."

J & J vaccine Now being used in America was and still is being produced in Europe.

Thanx for you answer.

Moderna is made in the US. J&J like I said is supposed to now be made in the US, but the company contaminated million of doses, and FDA hasn't approved it yet.

From Moderna's contractor in nearby Bloomington Indiana, straight into my arm. Ah, fresh!

'Murica!



I actually chose the closest pharmacy to me, and they offered Moderna.

... Massachusetts, but that's the location of their headquarters. It's mostly manufactured in Indiana.

All of the vaccines have pretty long shelf-lives if they're properly transported.

I had assumed it was mostly manufactured in Germany.

It's definitely better to manufacture it here, giving the refrigeration requirements.
