Pfizer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said more than a billion doses of the vaccine have been delivered, saying \u201cthe speed and efficiency of our efforts with BioNTech to help vaccinate the world against COVID-19 have been unprecedented.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pfizer said the pre-tax profit margin on the COVID-19 vaccine sales was in the \u201chigh-20s\u201d in terms of per cent, the same as the earlier forecast.<\/p>\n

The drugmaker reported second-quarter profits of $5.6-billion, up 59 per cent from the year-ago period on a 92 per cent increase in revenues to $19 billion.<\/p>\n

Pfizer has launched clinical studies on a possible third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine as a booster shot. Bourla has said such boosters could amount to a \u201cdurable\u201d revenue stream for the company.<\/p>\n

US health officials have thus far not far backed a third shot for the broad population, but officials are studying the need for a third shot in immunocompromised people.<\/p>\n
