Bio-N-Tech Group’s vaccine found to be 90% effective in protecting against Covid-19, vastly exceeding regulatory criteria, and putting it on track for approval in the EU and US within weeks.
The company says it can manufacture 50m doses this year, and 1.3bn in 2021.
Britain has so far secured 30 Million doses of the vaccine which requires a booster shot.
Pfizer boss calls it “a great day for science and humanity”.
“This is an important step for science, the data showed that a vaccine can work," Ugur Sahin, co-founder and chief executive of BioNTech told the FT. “The likelihood that other vaccines are going to be also successful increased today”.
