Biontech's alarm: "We can't cover the needs alone"
Biontech chief Uğur Şhin warned that if other coronavirus vaccines are not approved immediately in Europe, his company alone will not be able to cover the needs. “The situation is not good. A gap was created because no others were approved vaccines and we have to cover the hole with ours ".
Shin explained this in an interview with the German weekly Spiegel. The German health minister, Jens Spahn, urged the EMA to also swiftly approve the vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and by AstraZeneca but the times for the approval of the latter remain uncertain.
