2021-11-29 23:04 China-Africa summit: Beijing promises Africa 1 billion covid vaccine doses
India has administered 1 billion doses of Covid-19 vaccines, officials said Thursday, a milestone for the South Asian country where the delta variant fueled a crushing surge earlier this year.
The European Union has exported "over one billion" doses of Covid-19 vaccines in the past 10 months, according to the bloc's chief Ursula von der Leyen. SOUNDBITE
If no other vaccines are obtained in the meantime, that's only enough doses to inoculate fewer than half of the EU's 447 million population.
Shanghai, Jan 4 (EFE/EPA).- Fosun Pharma, a Chinese listed pharmaceutical company, and Germany's BioNTech reported in December that they would supply Mainland China with 100 million doses of a COVID-19 vaccine in 2021, after regulatory approval. In March 2020, Shanghai-based pharmaceutical company Fosun Pharma made a purchase agreement with BioNTech to buy 50 million USD worth of stock. It became a strategic partner in developing and producing the mRNA vaccine. (Camera: ALEX PLAVEVSKI).SHOT LIST: THE FOSUN PHARMA HEADQUARTERS BUILDING IN SHANGHAI, CHINA.
