Q&A: Pfizer weighs in on when, how many COVID-19 vaccine doses could be distributed throughout U.S.

[perugu_vada]

Are the vaccine doses already manufactured and ready to ship if the FDA grants emergency use authorization (EUA)?
"Submission for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) planned for soon after the required safety milestone is achieved, which is currently expected to occur in the third week of November. We're manufacturing the vaccine candidate now and have hundreds of thousands of doses at the 'formulation, fill and finish' manufacturing sites in Puurs, Belgium and Kalamazoo, Michigan."

How many doses of the vaccine will be available and when?
"Based on current projections we expect to produce globally up to 50 million vaccine doses in 2020 and up to 1.3 billion doses in 2021."

 

Where is Pfizer making the vaccine?

"Pfizer has manufacturing sites across the U.S. Initially for the COVID-19 U.S. commercial vaccine program, we are leveraging three of them:
Saint Louis, MO (Raw material manufacturing)

Andover, MA (Drug Substance)
Kalamazoo site (Formulation, fill and finish)
Pfizer's Puurs, Belgium, site is being used for European supply.
BioNTech Drug Substance Supply will also be part of the network for commercial supply.
And we anticipate more sites will be selected."

How will Pfizer ship and distribute the vaccine?
"Pfizer is working extremely closely with the U.S. government including state officials on the vaccine distribution and we are very grateful for their partnership.

 

In the U.S. our distribution approach will be to largely ship from our Kalamazoo site direct to the point of use (POU) due to the temperature requirements. However, we will also be using our existing distribution center for the COVID-19 distribution in Pleasant Prairie, WI.

These distribution centers will have a dedicated area designated to store product that is not going direct from our Kalamazoo site to POU.

We will be utilizing road and air modes of transportation in the U.S. where we expect to be able to get product to any point of use within a day or two.

We have also developed packaging and storage innovations to be fit for purpose for the range of locations where we believe vaccinations will take place. We have specially designed, temperature-controlled thermal shippers utilizing dry ice to maintain recommended storage condition -70C10C up to 10 days. The intent is to utilize Pfizer-strategic transportation partners to ship by air to major hubs within a country/region and by ground transport to dosing locations.
