The two companies, “Pfizer-BioNTech”, confirmed that the slowdown in the delivery of vaccine doses to Europe is only a temporary matter. Yesterday, the two companies’ labs tried to reassure the Europeans, confirming that they had put in place a plan to reduce the delay by a week in the delivery process, at a time when they fear Europe dropped doses from delivery to 3 or 4 weeks.
The two companies said in a joint statement, “They have developed a plan that allows to increase manufacturing capabilities in Europe and provide more vaccines during the second quarter.”
They confirmed that the reason for the delay is the occurrence of “adjustments to production mechanisms” in the Belgian factory Pors, which will allow the delivery capacity to be increased as of February 15th.
the two companies also announced on Friday that they were unable to provide the amount of doses that they had committed to deliver, which angered European countries that are already being criticized for the slowdown in the vaccination process.
Pfizer had launched the first coronavirus vaccine, after months of careful clinical trials and in-depth data analysis by experts of the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, at the beginning of December 2020.
