Pfizer is working very closely with the U.S. government on several fronts as we strategize and plan for our future COVID-19 vaccine distribution effort, keeping in mind that our vaccine candidate needs to clear a number of efficacy, safety and manufacturing hurdles before we submit for any FDA consideration. General Gustave Perna and the Operation Warp Speed team have offered any and all support and we are grateful for that as what we are tasked with is no simple feat.
A few areas where we have been collaborating include:
-a direct ship distribution strategy that minimizes the transportation time from our facility to the point of use,
-synchronization of our vaccine shipments with the delivery of an ancillary kit that contains supplies required to administer the vaccine, and
-a second dose inventory management system.
The combination of OWS logistics expertise coupled with Pfizer’s deep manufacturing and distribution expertise provides a solid foundation for success.
