The vaccine produced by Pfizer and by on tech officials in France, Germany and Switzerland say they're finding it hard to get the approved six shots out of each vial on the losses soon.

Add up 200,000 vials off.

The two shot vaccine should inoculate 600,000 people, but at only five shots per vial, that number drops to 500,000.

The difficulties could also make it harder for Pfizer and by on tech to hit a production target off two billion doses this year.

That target is based on six shots per vial.

In Switzerland, some officials described the vaccine as thick and hard to handle.

In France, one expert says there is a shortage off special syringes needed to get the most out of each vial.

One German state said they could get the sixth dose only around half the time.

Adding to the frustration, some countries are doing much better.

The UK says waste per vial is lower than expected in Denmark.

They're even getting seven doses out of each one on.

The Netherlands has upped its vaccination target after some hospitals.
