The vaccine rollout has been a bonanza for drug manufacturers, making the production of COVID-19 vaccines one of the most lucrative businesses these days.

Reportedly, Moderna’s share price has gained more than 700 percent since February 2020. Pfizer stock price has surged nearly 50 percent since last year, while its German partner, BioNTech, went from a startup to a multibillion-dollar company in just months, whose share price grew by 600 percent.
