Pfizer Inc and BioNTech's new proposal to the European Union, amid a glut of Covid-19 shots, includes a provision for member states to pay half price, or about €10, for each of about 70 million cancelled doses, the Financial Times has reported.

The revised contract would allow the EU to upgrade to newer vaccines tailored to any future Covid-19 variants, the report added, citing people close to negotiations.

In January, Reuters reported talks between the EU and the two drugmakers aimed at reducing up to 500 million Covid-19 vaccine doses Brussels has committed to buy this year in return for a higher price.

The move comes as the bloc plans to revamp laws governing the €133bn pharmaceuticals industry in the hope of reviving investment and boosting access to affordable drugs at a time when health budgets are drained by the costs of treating Covid-19.

Do you need a financial planner? What to know before seeking money advice

financial planner or advisor to guide decisions on everything from investments to getting out of debt.But as complicated as planning your own finances can be, experts say it’s no simple task getting the right help, either.“There’s still a lot of ambiguity, I find, with financial advisors in Canada to figure out what the heck they do,” says Jason Heath, managing director of Objective Financial Partners.Heath, who is a certified financial planner (CFP), and other experts also say relying on outside advice might not be right for every household budget when the costs of financial planning itself are factored in.Here’s how to decide if a financial planner is right for you, and how to navigate the market to find the right fit.There are many different types of financial guidance you can get, ranging from straightforward advice to hands-on management of your investments.But the first distinction to be made is the difference between a financial advisor and a financial planner.The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) differentiates the more general financial advisors, which could encompass anything from a bank employee to a stock broker to an insurance agent, from the more specific financial planner, which is a type of advisor who helps you make a plan for your long-term savings goals.
