Pfizer nears deal to provide U.S. with more vaccine doses - NYT
- Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) is close to an agreement with the Trump
administration in which the company would bolster the supply of its
coronavirus vaccine for the U.S. by at least tens of millions of doses
next year in exchange for a government directive giving it better access
to
manufacturing supplies, *New York Times* reports.
- A deal, which could be announced as early as tomorrow, would help the
U.S. at least partly offset a potential vaccine shortage that could leave
as many as 110M adult Americans uncovered in H1 2021.
- The government is asking for 100M additional doses from Pfizer from
April through June; the company has indicated it should be able to
produce
at least 70M doses and possibly more if it can gain more access to
supplies
and materials.
- Pfizer and partner BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX) as well as rival Moderna are
the only two groups that have won U.S. emergency use authorization for
their respective COVID-19 vaccine candidates.
