LONDON, June 18 (Reuters) - Johnson & Johnson is in talks with multiple governments and global organisations as it seeks to develop a COVID-19 vaccine, it said on Thursday after Reuters reported that the U.S. company is in talks over a potential EU supply deal.

"We are committed to making our COVID-19 vaccine accessible globally to populations at greatest risk and where it could provide the greatest good according to our vaccine's profile," a Johnson & Johnson spokesman said in an email.

"As part of that, we are in ongoing discussions with many stakeholders, including national governments and global organisations." (Reporting by Josephine Mason Editing by David Goodman )
