Government authorises health minister to purchase Pfizer vaccine

The conclusion was adopted in line with an agreement signed between the European Commission and Pfizer/BioNTech on February 17, 2021.

The funds for the procurement of the vaccine will be secured by the Croatian Health Insurance Fund.

The EC has so far signed six agreements on the upfront purchase of vaccines against COVID-19 on behalf of EU member states. The February 17 agreement between the EC and Pfizer refers to the purchase of an additional 200 million doses.
