“Thanks to strong and reliable partners such as Pfizer and BioNTech, vaccination in the EU is accelerating”. This was stated by the president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. “I am confident that we will have enough doses to vaccinate 70% of all European adults as early as July,” she added.

“The European Union is working on a new contract with Pfizer-Biontech for 1.8 billion doses of the covid-19 vaccine for 2021-2023”. This was announced by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen during a press conference with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla at the Puurs plant.
