FRANKFURT, Aug 9 (Reuters) - BioNTech and partner Pfizer have supplied more than one billion doses of their COVID-19 vaccine as per July 21, a bigger number than delivered by competitor AstraZeneca , the German biotech group said on Monday.

AstraZeneca said on July 29 that it and its manufacturing partner, India-based Serum Institute, had supplied a billion doses to 170 countries at the time.

Based on delivery contracts so far, BioNTech said in a statement it expects 15.9 billion euros ($18.7 billion) in revenue accruing to it from the vaccine this year, up from a forecast in May of 12.4 billion euros.

    BNTX has a lot more growth potential in my opinion. It is a biotechnology company that’s actually focused in developing treatments for cancer. And finding treatments for cancer is a huge industry.
