Washington: Pfizer and BioNTech will supply 100 million additional doses of Covid-19 Vaccine to the US under a new agreement. Pharmaceutical companies said on Wednesday that the US is likely to receive all vaccine doses by July 31. Pfizer already has an agreement with the US to give it 100 million doses of the vaccine.
Pfizer’s vaccine is the first Covid-19 vaccine to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and its first shipment arrived last week. In addition, the Moderna vaccine can also be approved, this vaccine has been developed in collaboration with scientists of the National Institute of Health.
Moderna Vaccine has been developed under the government’s own efforts. The name of this scheme is ‘Operation Wrap Speed’. This vaccine, developed under PPP, is ready to supply crores of doses as soon as it gets FDA approval.
With the agreement with Pfizer to supply the vaccine, the US has come very close to the goal of providing the vaccine to every citizen. A law made in the US during the Korean War can be put into effect for vaccine production. Under this law, the government can order private companies to produce essential materials during national emergencies. It is hoped that under this law, Pfizer will be helped in timely raising the raw material required for vaccine production.
