New York-based Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) and German firm BioNTech (Nasdaq: BNTX) have agreed with European authorities to supply up to 200 million doses of their investigational COVID-19 vaccine BNT162.

Pfizer and BioNTech have agreed an additional option for a further 100 million doses of its mRNA-based vaccine candidate, with deliveries starting by the end of 2020, subject to clinical success and regulatory authorization.
