Next year, he expects US and European manufacturers to create another 1.3 billion doses. Pfizer and its partner, BioNTech, are maxing out capacity on both sides of the Atlantic, he said.
Of those, about 100 milliion will go to the States in the first quarter of 2021, per an agreement between the government and the vaccine makers, and 1.2 billion will be sent to other countries, he said.
The US government would like another 100 million doses in the second quarter, but as of right now, there is no deal in place and Bourla sees the third quarter of 2021 being a more realistic target.
Sadly most people in the US won’t be receiving the Pfizer vaccine... can’t blame Pfizer, they signed deals where they could and are going to honor those commitments before taking on other obligations. Another Trump failure.
