Where's the Pfizer efficacy readout? CEO Bourla says 'soon,' but you're going to have to wait for it
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla had promised repeatedly that the pharma giant would know if its leading Covid-19 vaccine is effective by the end of this month — now just a few days away.

The news was included in a slide for their Q3 report.

And he added that Pfizer isn’t going to say anything else about that hot topic until they have the data in hand.
