The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has awarded Moderna more than $314.2 million in contracts for adult and pediatric COVID-19 vaccines for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, according to federal procurement records published this month.
The awards were issued June 1 through the CDC Office of Acquisition Services.
The pediatric vaccine contract, identified as award number 75D30126D21000, carries a total value of $285,044,250.
The adult vaccine contract, identified as award number 75D30126D21003, carries a total value of $29,183,000.
Combined, the two awards total $314,227,250.
Both awards issued to Moderna were published on SAM.gov on June 3.

The pediatric contract exceeds the adult contract by nearly $256 million, with the pediatric award amounting to almost 10 times the value of the adult contract.
The procurement records provide virtually no explanation for the spending.
The contract descriptions are blank.
No information is provided regarding projected dose quantities, expected demand, effectiveness data, safety considerations, or the rationale for allocating more than $314 million in taxpayer funds toward COVID-19 vaccine purchases over the next two fiscal years.
The awards also indicate that federal COVID-19 vaccine procurement remains an ongoing government priority years after officials declared the emergency phase of the pandemic over and repeatedly characterized COVID-19 as an endemic respiratory virus.
Americans Increasingly Reject COVID Vaccines
The award comes as federal health agencies continue promoting updated COVID-19 vaccines despite declining uptake among the general public and ongoing debate over the risk-benefit profile of repeated vaccination, particularly for healthy children.
Only 9% of children are reported by the CDC to be up to date with the 2025─26 COVID-19 vaccine, emphasizing the low demand among the young demographic.
Just 3.0% of parents say they even plan to vaccinate their child.
The same report shows only 17% of adults received the 2025─26 COVID-19 vaccine.
Rasmussen polling shows more than half of voters think COVID-19 vaccines “may have killed many people.”
The survey found that 56% of likely U.S. voters consider it likely that side effects of COVID-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths, including 32% who believe it’s very likely.
COVID vaccines alone have been linked to 1.6 million adverse events, according to CDC VAERS data.

Although the CDC officially denies it they receive millions in funding and gifts from the industry they are supposed to be regulating.
Their members own 50 vaccine related patents, meaning those members likely earn money on most - if not all - of the vaccines that are approved by their partner in crime: the FDA. They've also colluded with their criminal friends in congress to give both themselves and the drug companies practically blanket immunity to lawsuits against vaccination injury.
You could hook the revolving door between the CDC and the corporations they govern up to a turbine and light up the Vegas strip, meanwhile congress invests heavily in these enterprises based on legislation that they are going to pass in the future because they are exempt from insider trading laws.
This collusion between government and their subordinate industry is cartel/cabal/banana-republic levels of criminal. The only way out of this is to dismantle and rebuild the system from scratch because the system is rotten to the core and is woven together by blanket webs of interlocking incestuous corruption. It cannot be untangled or fixed as each corrupted entanglement has a stranglehold on the ones surrounding it - everyone is compromised and has incriminating evidence on everyone else - it can only be destroyed, its members sent to prison, and then ts pieces either rebuilt or discarded with the hard-earned wisdom from lessons learned.
No matter how much we decide we don’t want to take a shot, they’re still using our money to buy a shit load of them. Fucking infuriating.
