Pfizer
has increased the price of its vaccine against Covid-19 by more than a quarter and
Moderna
by more than a tenth in the latest European Union supply contracts, according to the
Financial Times
published this Sunday
.
The terms of the agreements, reached this year for a total of 2.1 billion injections through 2023, were renegotiated after data from the phase 3 trial showed that the two companies' 'mRNA' vaccines had higher efficacy rates. than the cheaper injections developed by Oxford / AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson.
The new price of a Pfizer injection is 19.50 euros compared to the previous 15.50 euros, according to the contracts to which the newspaper has had access;
while that of the Moderna is only slightly higher, around 19 euros, and is still below the 28.50 dollars (24 euros) that were previously agreed, as a result of the increase in orders.
The European Commission assured last week that the EU was in line to reach a full vaccination target for at least 70% of the adult population by the end of the summer.
