Two sources who did not want to be identified told NBC News that an extension for Moderna would likely add up to two months to the life of vaccine doses.

The FDA referred inquiries to the companies and declined comment on the email. Moderna declined to comment. Johnson & Johnson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
