Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla apologized on July 8 to National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci for failing to give the Biden administration a heads-up before news emerged that the company planned to seek authorization for a third dose of its COVID-19 vaccine.
“The CEO, who is a really good guy, got on the phone with me last night and apologized that they came out with that recommendation,” Fauci told CNN on July 9.
