Pfizer whittles down US donation deal as global COVID-19 vaccine demand slumps

As the appetite for Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine wanes overseas, the United States has reportedly whittled down its order for donations to poorer countries this year.

Pfizer has agreed to scale back its delivery to 600 million doses by the end of 2022, down from a previous 1 billion-dose pledge with the U.S., Reuters and other news outlets reported Friday.
