(Reuters) - Moderna Inc said on Monday it would produce at least 600
million doses of its COVID-19 vaccine in 2021, up by 100 million
doses from its previous forecast, as the United States continues to
roll-out the vaccine.

The company was working to invest and hire in order to deliver up to
1 billion doses this year, the higher end of its production forecast,
it said.

Moderna said it has so far supplied about 18 million doses to U.S.
government as part of a deal for 200 million doses. It has also
signed a deal with the Canadian government for 40 million doses.
