TAIPEI -Terry Gou, the billionaire founder of major Apple Inc supplier Foxconn, has asked BioNTech SE to reserve 30 million doses of its COVID-19 vaccine for Taiwan, saying he had received a "very good" response.
Taiwan's government subsequently allowed Gou, Foxconn - formally Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd - as well as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd, to negotiate on its behalf for the shot. A $350 million deal for 10 million shots was inked last month, which will be donated to the government for distribution.
He added that he had asked BioNTech whether they could reserve 30 million doses for Taiwan for next year, and "at present have received a very good response".Taiwan Premier Su Tseng-chang thanked Gou for his "kind reminder" about purchasing vaccines, saying the government has already ordered second-generation vaccines from Moderna Inc.
