...[W]e would like to inform that at no time has Pfizer requested the issuance of a law that decrees the confidentiality of the manufacturing and distribution agreement of Pfizer and BioNTech's vaccine against COVID-19.

It is also important to emphasize that such confidentiality does not prevent or limit, in any way, the exercise of the supervisory powers of the competent authorities...

We remain fully focused on getting high-quality, safe and effective vaccines to patients all over the world as quickly as possible and to helping end this deadly pandemic...
