Why is the military buying 200 million doses when the entire Military is about 1.5 million. Even if we round up to 2 million and double because it’s a 2 dose vaccine. That will still leave a boat load of vaccines.

You also have turnover and multiple years. Plus, a booster every year or so may be needed.

Capt Gregory Prickett I guess We can assume the doses purchased will be manufactured in batches over a couple of years. Would be the only way because shelf life at -20 is only 6 months for Moderna.
