The contract covers the period from June 2026 to May 2027. Moderna, Inc. ($MRNA) is the publicly traded parent company and direct recipient. This contract is a continuation of government procurement for COVID-19 vaccines, specifically targeting the pediatric population.

The $90.9M award, while modest relative to past revenue, provides a predictable revenue stream for its vaccine business.
