The White House turned down 100m extra Pfizer vaccine doses | First Thing

Trump administration refused an offer of millions of additional doses of Pfizer's coronavirus jab. Plus, Giuliani is doing well' but his condition is kept quiet

Good morning.

The White House refused an offer to buy 100m additional doses of Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine, a decision which could cause delays in distribution. The Trump administration ordered an initial 100m doses, enough for 50 million Americans, from the US multinational but passing up the opportunity to buy a second batch could mean the US has to wait until Pfizer has supplied other countries before it can get further doses.
