Pfizer sets out pilot delivery program for COVID-19 vaccine

• The pilot delivery program is being closely watched as the vaccine must be shipped and stored at -70 degrees Celsius (minus 94°F), significantly below the standard for vaccines of 2-8 degrees Celsius (36-46°F).
• Rhode Island, Texas, New Mexico, and Tennessee were picked due to their differences in overall size, diversity of populations, immunization infrastructure, and urban/rural settings.
• Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) notes that the four states will not receive vaccine doses earlier than other states by virtue of the pilot, nor will they receive any differential consideration.
• The company expects to have enough safety data on the vaccine from the ongoing large scale late-stage trials by the third week of November before proceeding to apply for emergency use authorization from the FDA.
