Private companies aren't going to take a huge financial risk by stopping production of their current vaccine (which would involve breaking contracts) in order to start producing a vaccine that is still being tested.
I'm gonna guess there will be PLENTY of demand for this one to offset any costs. if the vaccine exists now they can begin modifying plants now so that is done if/when this is approved. they make this for 8 weeks get a bulk supply out there then return to their normal production.
