Sahin told Fox that could happen by next April. Acknowledging anti-vaccine sentiment, he reassured Fox News that "the vaccine has an excellent safety profile.”Widespread global distribution is also critical. Pfizer/BioNTech had promised to deliver 1.3 billion vaccine doses to countries around the world by the end of the next year.
