UK to Pay Higher Price for 35 Million Booster Doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine

The UK has ordered an additional 35 million booster doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine after Pfizer raised the costs due to rising demand.

The British government is reportedly set to announce the $1.4 billion deal this week, a per dose price of $40.

The UK has grown increasingly concerned about its vaccine supply since the EU secured an additional 900 million Pfizer/BioNTech doses over the next two years.

Pfizer wouldn’t discuss the UK deal, but told FDAnews it employs a “tiered pricing formula, including volume and delivery dates” in all of its government contracts. ― Jason Scott
