The spread of the Delta variant in recent days has also led to an increase in the price of vaccines from the companies Pfizer and Moderna.
French Minister for European Affairs Stephane Bonn, pharmaceutical companies will increase the price of vaccines against Covid that they will deliver to the European Union because they will have adapted to the new variants of the coronavirus.
Meanwhile a dose of Pfizer vaccine will go from 15.5 euros and 19.5 euros and a dose of Moderna vaccine from 19 euros to 21.5 euros, the Financial Times reported yesterday, citing the content of contracts with the EU.
“We have to deal with all the problems in a rational way, obviously not to exaggerate, but to have more demanding contracts, with vaccines adapted for the new variants of Covid. “Maybe yes, it will be a little more expensive not only for the European Union, but for all buyers.” said Cleman Bonn.
The price increase coincides with concerns about the spread of the Delta variant, while research has shown that the Moderna and Pfizer / BioNTech vaccines remain effective against this variant.
