The company BioNTech, responsible with Pfizer for the world's first authorized vaccine against Covid-19, says that it is able to supply another vaccine "in six weeks" in case of virus mutation, as happened in the United Kingdom.
"We are technically capable of delivering a new vaccine in six weeks," said scientist and entrepreneur Ugur Sahin, from the German laboratory BioNTech.
"In principle, the beauty of messenger RNA technology is that we can start directly to design a vaccine that completely mimics the new mutation," added the official, during a press conference in Mainz (western Germany).
