Brazil expects to sign a new deal next week with Pfizer Inc for 100 million more Covid-19 vaccine doses, a Health Ministry official said on Friday, which would double the U.S. drugmaker's delivery to the Latin American country this year.

Rodrigo Cruz, executive secretary at the ministry, told journalists the contract has been agreed and just needs to be signed.

Earlier this week, Health Minister Marcelo Queiroga said 35 million of these shots are due to be delivered in October.
