Pfzier is reportedly close to a new deal with the U.S. government to supply 100 million vaccine doses between April and June 2021
In exchange, the company would receive greater access to supplies
The government could invoke the Defense Production Act to give Pfizer access to the nine specialized products it needs to create a vaccine dose
The new deal could be announced as early as Wednesday
It would help the U.S. face off a looming vaccine shortage which would leave 110 Americans unprotected for the first six months of 2021
Pfizer has already promised 100 million doses by March
Yet they have been calling on the government for more help with supplies since September as other countries snap up their vaccine supply

When Julieta Hernandez began hearing the first rumblings about a COVID-19 vaccine soon arriving in Texas, the Rockport writer and bartender had no doubts that she would get her shot when her time came.
And then she sat down to breakfast with her vegetarian parents, lifelong believers in homeopathic treatments with a deep skepticism for vaccines and mistrust in the government.
“You’re not planning on getting that, are you?” they asked her.
Now, Hernandez, 22, is on the fence, feeling guilty because she knows “it’s the right thing to do” but wanting to trust her parents and her own naturalistic upbringing.
