Taiwan could get up to 9 million doses of BioNTech SE's (22UAy.DE) COVID-19 vaccine this year, the founder of Taiwanese tech giant Foxconn said on Monday, laying out a delivery timetable for a vaccine order that became heavily politicised.
The first batch of BioNTech shots arrived last week. A Taiwanese Buddhist group has also ordered 5 million shots, with government approval.
"Following on, it is estimated 700,000 to 800,000 doses per week will come as weekly arrivals, so the target of 8-9 million doses this year will be reached as soon as possible, but we are also working hard to get more to Taiwan this year," he added.Gou was not able to be at the airport to welcome the first batch as he was in quarantine after returning from a trip to Europe.
