Pfizer CEO โ€˜not certainโ€™ their vaccine stops transmission of Covid-19 as companyโ€™s jab approved in UK and evaluated in US

 

The top executive at pharma giant Pfizer said it still isnโ€™t clear if those who receive the companyโ€™s vaccine will be able transmit the coronavirus to others, just one day after the UK became the first to approve the inoculation.

 

While Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said he expects the vaccine rollout to be rapid after it gets the green light from US health officials, following in the steps of Britain, he noted that it remains to be seen whether recipients of the jab can still carry and pass the virus.

 

โ€œEven though Iโ€™ve had the protection, am I still able to transmit it to other people?โ€

 

NBCโ€™s Lester Holt asked in an interview on Thursday night, prompting a startling response from Bourla:

 

โ€œI think this is something that needs to be examined. We are not certain about that right now.โ€œ
