The manufacturing debacle at Emergent BioSolutions' Baltimore plant keeps getting worse. After spending weeks inspecting the site, the FDA has instructed COVID-19 vaccine maker Johnson & Johnson and its production partner Emergent BioSolutions to throw out 60 million vaccine doses, The New York Times reports, citing people familiar with the matter. This comes after a manufacturing error earlier this year ruined a large batch containing about 15 million doses. Source: Fierce Biotech 11/6/21
