"From your homes and in the labs, each of you at BioNTech has helped to bring the world one step closer to our shared goal of a vaccine to fight this devastating pandemic. For this, we say, “Thank You.” Breakthroughs in medicines and vaccines are only possible through the ardent commitment of healthcare professionals like you, and we are profoundly grateful to you and your loved ones for your efforts. You are the true heroes, and the whole world owes you a tremendous debt of gratitude. Our work together is not done, as the study is still enrolling and carries on as planned. We will continue to collect data on the vaccine’s safety and efficacy to confirm if it meets all of the criteria for potential approval by regulators globally. We appreciate your continued determination and remain committed to our shared pledge to always make safety and well-being our top priority."
