Many countries are working to have the necessary medical infrastructure in place before a COVID-19 vaccine is proven effective. And now, as promising data begins to trickle in from a number of drugmakers, the U.S. is nearly quadrupling its orders for needles and syringes made by BD, according to a FierceBiotech report.
The U.S. ordered an additional 140 million injection devices from the medtech giant, bringing its total to 190 million. Meanwhile, Canada just about doubled its order, from 38 million to 75 million.
