Pfizer CFO Frank D'Amelio spoke about the outlook for the company's COVID-19 vaccine. He's confident that the current price of $19.50 per dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will increase as the pandemic slows to reach prices of other vaccines—around $150 to $175 per dose. He also notes that while Pfizer expected to provide 1.3 billion doses, it ended up provided 2 billion. Yearly booster shots will also add continuing revenue to Pfizer's coffers.
