Biontech and Pfizer receive orders worth billions of euros from the US

The United States of America is preparing for the fall and has ordered more than 100 million doses of the vaccine against the corona virus from the companies Biontech and Pfizer. Washington announced that an agreement has been reached to buy 105 million doses of vaccines at a price of 3.2 billion dollars. The US government is afraid of a new increase in the number of infections in the fall.

Porosia përfshin vaksina si për të rriturit ashtu edhe për fëmijët. Furnizimi me vaksinat kundër COVID-19 është planifikuar të fillojë në fund të verës. Sipas shefit të Pfizer, Albert Bourla, bëhet fjalë për vaksina që mund të mbrojnënë mënyrë specifike kundër varianteve më të reja të virusit si p.sh. Omikron.

Një vaksinë kundër shumë virusesh korona

Me vaksinat kundër Covidit, kompania Biontech po punon me partnerin e saj amerikan, Pfizer jo vetëm për një vaksinë të përshtatur me variantin shumë ngjitës Omikron, e cila pritet të marrë miratimin e mundshëm për përdorim në vjeshtë.

In the second half of the year the Mainz-based company also wants to start clinical testing of next-generation vaccines, which are expected to offer protection against a large number of corona viruses. These include T-cell booster vaccines, which protect mainly against severe disease, and pan-coronavirus vaccines, which are designed to protect against the entire virus family and its mutations. The goal is to "provide permanent protection against various variants"./DW
