Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine

VACCINE equity campaigners slammed Pfizer’s “profiteering” during a pandemic today after the company increased Covid-19 vaccine prices for the NHS. 

Britain will reportedly pay £1 billion for 35 million doses of Pfizer’s vaccine for “booster” jabs next year, with prices increasing a fifth from £18 to £22 a dose. 

Global Justice Now warned that by ordering millions of “overpriced” booster jabs, Britain is sending low and middle-income countries who are struggling to access vaccines to the back of the queue.
