Referring to Pfizer investment in Thessaloniki, Albert Bourla, head of Pfizer, said it is a very important investment for the company.
"It may take some time, but currently the solutions we have on hand are so effective that it is only a matter of time before we reach the end of the pandemic," said Pfizer CEO.
Speaking from the company's headquarters in Connecticut, Bourla expressed hope that normalcy would be restored soon and urged people to continue using the masks and following the instructions of the scientists until normalcy is restored.
In Greece there will be about 2 million doses available out of the 200 million that will be distributed in the European Union.
Regarding the mutation of the virus, Bourla said that it will take some time to understand how dangerous it is and stated with optimism that "the vaccine will be effective, even against the specific mutation".
"We will have more information approximately two weeks after the end of the experiments we are currently conducting, to see if the vaccine has the same effect, more or less the effect against the new virus."
