Earlier this year, Merck agreed to make its rival’s shot, after scrapping two of its own experimental COVID-19 vaccines.
The U.S. government at that time invoked the Defense Production Act to help equip two Merck plants to make the J&J vaccine.
The EMA said Merck’s site, to become operational immediately, was expected to support the continued supply of J&J’s COVID-19 vaccine in the European Union.
