OSLO, Jan 15 (Reuters) – Pfizer PFE.N will quickly scale back its deliveries to Europe of its vaccine towards COVID-19 whereas it upgrades its manufacturing capability, the Norwegian Institute of Public Well being stated on Friday.
“We acquired this message right this moment slightly earlier than 10am (0900 GMT). We had anticipated 43,875 vaccines doses from Pfizer in week 3 (subsequent week). Now it seems that we’ll get 36,075 doses,” the Norwegian Institute of Public Well being (FHI) stated in a press release.
The discount in deliveries is because of Pfizer limiting output in order that it may well improve manufacturing capability to 2 billion vaccine doses per 12 months from 1.Three billion at present, the FHI stated.
“This short-term discount will have an effect on all European international locations,” stated the FHI. “It’s as but not exactly clear how very long time it’ll take earlier than Pfizer is as much as most manufacturing capability once more.”
