The pharmaceutical company Pfizer wanted to deliver 100 million doses of its corona vaccine by the end of the year. According to a report, only half of the amount is planned.

According to a newspaper report, the US pharmaceutical company Pfizer expects to deliver only half of the corona vaccine this year than originally planned. Supply chain expansion is taking longer than expected, the Wall Street Journal quoted a company spokeswoman on Thursday.

Instead of the 100 million deliveries actually expected, the report says Pfizer now only plans about 50 million by the end of the year. The group did not initially respond to a request for more detailed information. Pfizer developed the vaccine together with the German manufacturer Biontech.

The British Medicines Agency granted Pfizer and Biontech emergency approval for their corona vaccine on Wednesday. The UK is the first country to issue a certificate of authorization for the vaccine. The US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency Ema are also reviewing these applications.
