Olympics organizers struck a deal with Pfizer and BioNTech on Thursday that will offer a COVID-19 vaccine to athletes before they head to the Summer Games in Tokyo. The International Olympic Committee said offering a vaccine to participants in the Olympic and Paralympic Games will make the events safer and protect Japanese residents as they welcome visitors. Donated doses will be added to global supplies and not siphoned out of any country’s planned deliveries, the committee said. Japan and the IOC are under intense pressure to hold a safe Olympics from July 23 to Aug.
