Pfizer-BioNTech

Pfizer-BioNTech refers to a partnership between the pharmaceutical company Pfizer and the German biotechnology company BioNTech, primarily known for developing a COVID-19 vaccine. This vaccine, called Comirnaty, uses messenger RNA (mRNA) technology to prompt the immune system to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19. The collaboration was a swift response to the pandemic, resulting in one of the first vaccines authorized for emergency use worldwide. The success of this vaccine has significantly impacted public health and vaccination strategies during the COVID-19 crisis.
