Stocks for companies developing or already distributing a vaccine for covid are on the move Tuesday.
The increase comes alongside a few pieces of news. First off, there are rising concerns about the coronavirus spreading and more lockdowns going into effect. This is due to the spread of the delta variant of covid.
In addition to this, there’s talk that the government could make covid vaccines a requirement, which easily explains positive stock movement. That could result in all government employees needing the shots. However, that likely wouldn’t come until after the vaccines get full FDA approval, which would be next January at the earliest, NBC News notes.
Taking into account the news above, let’s see what’s happening with covid vaccine stocks today.
