Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and Pfizer Chief Executive Officer Albert Bourla discussed increasing the supply on a recent phone call, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
Pfizer’s vaccine is currently the only one approved for use in Japan, and the inoculation roll-out which started in February has so far been slow. Fewer than 2 million doses have been administered to its population of about 126 million.
