Yesterday Aspen announced that it had secured the rights from Johnson & Johnson to manufacture its own Covid-19 vaccine under the name Aspenovax. This afternoon the company reported its financial results for the six months ended December, which have shown a 37% jump in total headline earnings per share. We are going to diagnose the numbers right now with the CEO of Aspen, Mr Stephen Saad. Stephen, thanks so much for your time. A lot happened in the last six months of 2021.
Sure. Stephen, just repeat the expected price range again. Sorry, we lost you there a bit. So here’s the thing, though. On the ground, right, what we are experiencing – I don’t know about your circles – but a lot of COVIDfatigue and I’ll even extend that to vaccine fatigue, right? Last week I saw a report. I read a story that 100 000 ……4:21 years doses of the Pfizer vaccine were on the verge of expiring, just as a result of people not queueing up to jab any more as a result of that fatigue. So I’m wondering whether you are seeing that fatigue translate through your order pipeline.
For sure. But just on the issue of variants and other variants that may be forthcoming, based on the experience of Omicron it would seem that as new variants do unfold the harm or the extent of the harm of those new variants [is] minimised. I don’t know if we can use Omicron as a case of how things will be like going forward. Yeah.
