Statement by Pfizer Chairman and CEO Albert Bourla

New York, NY, January 15, 2021Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) – Today President-elect Biden released a COVID-19 vaccination plan that our scientists reviewed and believe will accelerate our ability to beat back the pandemic and save American lives. This comprehensive federal plan utilizes as many doses as possible, opens up eligibility to a broader set of Americans, and ensures equity by focusing on the hardest hit communities.

We are particularly aligned with the ideas of federally assisted vaccination centers, financial support to the States, mobile clinics to reach underserved urban areas and rural communities, vaccine availability in pharmacies and qualified health centers and an expanded public health workforce.

At Pfizer, we are ready and able to support this plan and look forward to working together to make the light at the end of this long tunnel brighter and closer.
