The Polish government stepped up its battle with Pfizer Inc. to significantly scale back its contract for supplies of Covid-19 vaccines that the country no longer needs post-pandemic.
In a letter to Pfizer shareholders dated Tuesday, Health Minister Adam Niedzielski said the plans by Pfizer to deliver hundreds of millions vaccines to the European Union is “utterly pointless,” because most of them will have to be destroyed due to short shelf life. He added that poor countries in other regions are not interested in donations.
