Vaccine development companies Pfizer and Moderna turned down US President Donald Trump’s invitation to the White House for Tuesday’s “vaccine summit,” Reuters reported, citing the US health news portal Stat News. .
In addition to Trump, the meeting will be attended by Vice President Mike Pence and representatives of several companies: pharmaceutical wholesalers, shipping companies. Reuters has not yet received a response to a question about the reasons for its absence from Pfizer and Moderna.
Meanwhile, Monday’s edition of the New York Times reported that the Trump administration had not followed through on Pfizer’s offer to buy more vaccines than it had previously promised at the end of the summer. The company will no longer be able to supply more vaccines to the United States until next June due to its contracts with other countries.
