Coronavirus – US: Orders several doses of Pfizer to treat 10 million Americans

The President of the USA Joe Biden said Tuesday night he was optimistic following the release of data released by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer Inc for the coronavirus drug which he has developed and revealed, in fact, that his government has ordered several such pills to treat 10 million Americans.

“THE vaccination and booster vaccine remain the most important tools we have to save lives. But if this treatment “Once the pills become widely available, they will be an important step forward in our quest to get out of the pandemic,” the president said in a statement.

It is recalled that earlier today Pfizer announced that the antiviral pill against COVID-19 continues to show 89% efficiency in preventing hospitalization and death in high-risk patients. In addition, he noted that recent laboratory data suggest that the drug retains its effectiveness against the rapid spread of the Omicron mutation.

Pfizer pills are taken in combination with the older ritonavir antiviral every 12 hours for five days, starting with shortly after the appearance of the first symptoms.

If approved, the treatment will be sold as Paxlovid.
