Switzerland may have to give away millions of doses of vaccine if regulators continue to delay the authorization of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Swissmedic says it wants more information from a study about the effectiveness of the drug from the Americas before giving it the go ahead.
Switzerland is one of the last major countries yet to approve the vaccine. It’s been given the OK in the UK, EU and by the World Health Organization. But the United States has yet to allow it.
The government has ordered millions of doses of the vaccine – and says it won’t cancel the delivery contract. But it may resell or giveaway its allocation if the regulators don’t allow it soon.
