    CHICAGO (Reuters) - The U.S. government has awarded Novavax Inc (O:NVAX) $1.6 billion to cover testing, commercialization and manufacturing of a potential coronavirus vaccine in the United States, with the aim of delivering 100 million doses by January 2021.

    The award is the biggest yet from "Operation Warp Speed", the White House program aimed at accelerating access to vaccines and treatments to fight the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

    "What this Warp Speed award does is it pays for production of 100 million doses, which would be delivered starting in the fourth quarter of this year, and may be completed by January or February of next year," Novavax Chief Executive Stanley Erck told Reuters.

    That handout makes no sense IMO.
    By 2021 90%+ living organisms have already developed own vaccine or disease has stopped spread...

    What am i missing here?

    Now it makes perfect sense, all pieces fit together.

    Also it is potential vaccine...
    In other words they boosted company developing vaccine that may or may not work, scheduled to release for times when the vaccine is most likely no longer needed.
