Virologist Johan Neyts is not upset by the announcement. “The supply companies that supply the raw materials also have to do their thing,” he says at VTM NEWS about the delay. The professor does not rule out that other practical problems will arise in the future. For example, millions of bottles have to be produced to store the drug, but will they be ready in time?
Our country does not expect any vaccines from Pfizer this year. For January, Belgium ordered 736,000 doses and a further 300,000 doses are expected in February. These deliveries would not be endangered, reports VTM NIEUWS.
In a response, Pfizer itself says: “The adjustments to our production lines in the US and Europe are now fully completed, and vaccine doses are currently being made at a rapid pace. We are confident that by the end of 2021 we will be able to deliver up to 1.3 billion doses as indicated. ”
