Last week, Johnson & Johnson JNJ.N told Reuters it is in talks for vaccine deals with the European Union, Japan and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. [L2N2EN1FW]

Some drugmakers, including J&J, have announced plans to price their vaccines on a not-for-profit basis while the pandemic is ongoing, although J&J has not provided specifics on pricing.

AstraZeneca Plc AZN.L agreed to provide the United States 300 million doses of the vaccine it is developing with Oxford University researchers in exchange for $1.2 billion in upfront funding.

Although the cost per dose comes out to around $4 - far less than what Pfizer and BioNTech would receive - AstraZeneca can use some of that funding to offset research and development costs even if its vaccine ultimately fails.
