FIVE-POINT PLAN FOR UNPRECEDENTED COLLABORATION

Bold Moves

Unleash the power of our people

Lead the conversation

With its five-point plan, Pfizer called on all members of the innovation ecosystem to commit to working together to end the COVID-19 global health crisis.

In mid-March, as the COVID-19 pandemic began to sweep across the globe, Pfizer made five promises to help scientists more rapidly bring forward therapies and vaccines to protect humankind.

  • Sharing tools and insights: Pfizer committed to making cell-based assays, viral screening, serological assays, translational models and similarly vital tools available on an open-source platform to the broader scientific community and to sharing the data and learnings gained with other companies in real time to rapidly advance therapies and vaccines to patients.
  • Marshalling our people: Pfizer created a SWAT team of our leading virologists, biologists, chemists, clinicians, epidemiologists, vaccine experts, pharmaceutical scientists and other key experts to focus solely on addressing the pandemic.​​​​​​
  • Applying our drug development expertise: Pfizer committed to sharing our clinical development and regulatory expertise to support smaller biotech companies that may lack the experience in late-stage development and working with regulatory authorities that is necessary to advance these companies’ most promising candidates.
  • Offering our manufacturing capabilities: As one of the industry’s largest manufacturers, Pfizer committed to using any excess manufacturing capacity and to potentially shifting production to help others get these life-saving breakthroughs into the hands of patients as quickly as possible.
  • Improving future rapid response: Finally, to address future global health threats, Pfizer reached out to federal agencies including NIH, NIAID and CDC to build a cross-industry rapid response team of scientists, clinicians and technicians able to move into action immediately when future epidemics surface.

​​​​​With this five-point plan, Pfizer called on all members of the innovation ecosystem – from large pharmaceutical companies to the smallest biotech companies, from government agencies to academic institutions – to commit to working together to end this global health crisis.
