LONDON (Reuters) – Pfizer Inc said on Wednesday it was on track to meet its targets for delivering COVID-19 injections in the UK according to an agreed monthly schedule, after the UK warned of a significant reduction in its vaccine supplies available.
“We can confirm that the first quarter deliveries are still ongoing and continue to advance in line with the monthly schedule,” said a Pfizer spokeswoman. Britain is launching the Pfizer vaccine alongside one made by AstraZeneca.
“We will work closely with the Government to ensure that this continues to be the case; our projected global supply for the second quarter remains unchanged and we are on track to continue delivering a steady supply of vaccines to the UK from April to June in accordance with our contractual commitments, “said the Pfizer spokeswoman.
