BusinessLIVE reported today that Japan halted the use of Moderna vaccine at multiple sites across the nation after receiving the reports of the presence of foreign particles in the vaccine vials.

Japan suspended the use of 1.63 million doses of Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine after receiving reports of foreign particles in the vials from several vaccination sites.

NHK World-Japan reported that the foreign particles found in the vaccine vials from 8 vaccination sites since August 16 are magnetic in nature and thus believed to be metal particles.
