This page is a press release from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare dated September 1, 2021, regarding the suspension of inoculation of a specific lot of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in Kanagawa Prefecture. A foreign object was discovered in an unopened vial on August 31. Following Takeda Pharmaceutical's investigation, the object is likely rubber stopper debris, which has rarely occurred in multiple lots previously. Other vials in the same lot show no efficacy or safety issues, and vaccination suspension is unnecessary.
