when this was first being developed at pfizer and bion tech. their ultra low temperatures minus 80 degrees celsius. so that was where we had the experience. and that's what once we got the eu a emergency use authorization, that is what pfizer had to have all the sites adhered to, keep it at that very low temperature until it was ready to be administered, by and then administered. since that time companies have had more ofe a chance to test the vaccine for stability at less stringent conditions. and actually, just recently, the fda and the european agency as well have now relax those requirements. so no longer does the pfizer biotech vaccine have been capped at minus 88 can be kept at minus 24 after two weeks. there are many more facilitiesie on the country and around the world to have those resources. so now can reach for places that it could before. so when you talk to my distribution. that's an issue they came upon yesterday meet the press. secretary of state was asked by chuck todd on the issue of the u.s. role in the vaccine distribution gl

pfizer, even though it is a u.s.-based company, it has international scope and responsibility and it recognizes this. as a result, even before pfizer knew the results of the clinical trial, it was scaling up mass production of the vaccine to do everything it could to make sure that if the vaccine worked and if it received emergency youth authorization, that as many doses could go out as quickly as possible. in addition, pfizer was upgrading its facilities, reaching out and using new facilities to produce new vaccines. in addition, one of the important steps that was actually prompted by the pandemic and this crisis was a willingness of competitor companies, other large pharma companies to band together, work together to cooperate to produce the vaccine. so, in fact, not only is the pfizer biontech vaccine being produced at those locations, but auction -- actually a virus and sanofi have offered their vaccine production facilities to upscale the production and make it more available on a worldwide basis. i think these

they are different than the pfizer and moderna vaccines. blood clots in combination of loet plate -- low plateletes are not being seen -- platelets are not been seen in pfizer and moderna. our latest data show we have administered more than 7.2 million doses of johnson & johnson vaccine and have yet observed only six of these cases. right now, we believe these events to be extremely rare. while we are also not yet certain we heard about all possible cases as this syndrome may not be easily recognized as one associated with the vaccine. c.d.c. and f.d.a. are working rapidly to investigate each case and understand whether there is a causal relationship between these blood clots and vaccine administration. the decision to pause administration of johnson & johnson vaccine was made specifically for three reasons. first, we want to alert the health care providers to be on the lookout for these rare events postvaccination and to make sure they are treating patients appropriately. it is imperative for health care workers to know that the treatment

i took it into my own hands and found myself a pfizer appointment. i just wish it would have been organized a little faster. >> and she had said she was a little bit concerned that this thing had not been planned a little better. but the truth of the matter is, many officials were finding out themselves that there would be a pause in the distribution of the johnson & johnson vaccine. so ultimately this woman was saying she was very happy state officials pivoted, were able to do a twist, if you will, and make certain she got a vaccination, even though it was johnson & johnson. she was ready for that one and done, if you will, but she said she will be back in three weeks to get her second shot of pfizer. >> rehema, we saw this in our viewing area down here a j&j site got turned into a moderna site immediately and everybody's appointment was kept. was everybody's appointment kept at the javits center today so far? >> it appears so far, that appears to be the case. there has not been grumbling of people coming out saying they can't get it. in fact the st

signing off on a future order of $900000000.00 doses those extra euros really add up but as pfizer well knows the block doesn't really have a choice because brussels is fast pick astra zeneca has become vaccine non-grata after it's linked to red blood clots at this point it would probably struggle to print out its vaccine for free let alone charge for it johnson and johnson's hit the pause button over the same concern on the european medicine agencies not. in on approving any other shots at the moment so the fries are jobs stand as the sole savior all 12 no 1519 and a half years of it but if you don't count those 3 surprise a likely scenario is that there will be likely a need for a 3rd somewhere between 6 and 12 months and then from the there will be an annual leave oxygenation but all of that needs to be confirmed a vaccine with reduces in the 1st year and a booster annually after that what a tidy little way to keep those billions coming in to hell with the corporation how would morality to hell with humanity you really have to hand it to pfizer even in a pandemic it's just another da
