TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan plans to buy a combined 145 million doses of Pfizer and Moderna coronavirus vaccines with an eye to rolling out a fourth shot, Kyodo news agency reported on Wednesday, citing a government source.
Japan has not made a decision on the fourth vaccine doses as the country currently delivers its first booster shots – or third doses. Local media reports have said another booster roll-out could start this summer.
