Argentina restarts talks with Pfizer into buying its coronavirus vaccine

BUENOS AIRES: Argentina has resumed talks with Pfizer Inc to purchase vaccines against the coronavirus, an adviser to the government said on Tuesday, as the country registers a spike in new infections.

The government had talked with Pfizer last year about the purchase of COVID-19 vaccines but the two sides did not reach a deal on supply of the vaccine it developed with German partner BioNTech SE. "Negotiations with Pfizer have resumed," presidential adviser Cecilia Nicolini told local Futurock radio.
