SYDNEY, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Australia will buy 10 million additional doses of the COVID-19 vaccine jointly developed by U.S. drugmaker Pfizer Inc (NYSE:PFE) PFE.N and Germany's BioNTech 22UAy.DE , Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Thursday.
"These additional vaccines have been secured consistent with our requirements," Morrison told reporters in Canberra.
Australia last week approved the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for use for people aged 16 years and older, and expects to begin inoculation at 80,000 doses per week by the end of February.
