(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 15 - Pfizer has confirmed that vaccine deliveries will slow down at the end of January-early February, the time needed to change the production process and increase the pace in the following weeks.
"Pfizers is working hard to deliver more doses than originally anticipated with a new stated goal of 2 billion doses in 2021," justified the group.
Changes to the manufacturing facility "require further regulatory approvals" and therefore there may be "fluctuations in the order and delivery schedules at the Belgian Puurs plant".
"As soon as I learned of Pfizer's production delay, I called the CEO, who reassured me that all the doses planned for the EU will be delivered in the first quarter".
Meanwhile, the president of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, declared.
