US removes DPA ratings on AstraZeneca, Novavaxn and Sanofi vaccines

The Biden Administration has removed Defense Production Act (DPA) ratings on AstraZeneca, Novavax and Sanofi vaccines. Many countries can now manufacture these vaccines by getting ingredients from US companies. The White House also announced Thursday that it is lifting restrictions on sharing vaccines produced by AstraZeneca, as well as Sanofi and Novavax, which are also not authorized in the US, allowing the companies to determine themselves where to share their doses.
