Moderna stock pulls back after a sharp rally as investors weigh U.S. vaccine backlash risk
Moderna shares fell 6.09% to $48.71 Friday after CEO Stéphane Bancel said the company will scale back new late-stage vaccine trials, citing U.S. resistance and policy delays. The drop followed a midweek rally on positive cancer vaccine data with Merck. Investors await Moderna’s Feb. 13 results for further updates. U.S. markets are closed until Monday.
