Pfizer and Moderna raise the price of their anti-Corona vaccines

French Minister of State for European Affairs Clément Bonn announced that the pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and Moderna will increase the price of their vaccines against the emerging coronavirus (Covid-19), after they were modified to combat the virus' mutants, confirming information reported by the Financial Times.

"We have to look at all of this in a rational way," Clément told Radio France International. "We must, of course, make sure that we are not deceived, but rather that we come up with more demanding contracts with products that are probably more adapted to the mutants."

He believed that "the price will be a little higher, not only for the European Union, but for all buyers."

Yesterday, the Financial Times newspaper, after reviewing the contract with the European Union, revealed that the price of the Pfizer vaccine will rise from 15.5 euros to 19.5 euros, while the price of Moderna's vaccine will rise from 19 euros to 21.5 euros.

Clement Bonn added, "Work is underway to adapt (vaccines) to the mutants. This is required in the contracts being negotiated. We also request that the bulk of production, about 300 of the vaccine components, be manufactured on European soil."
