PFIZER: WE RESPECT PRINCIPLES OF VOLUMES, EQUITY AND ACCESS
Despite numerous cost rumors, Pfizer tries to keep pricing confidential. “Our prices remain confidential. We have applied principles to ensure fair access. To help governments during the pandemic, the price of the vaccine was set to have no direct impact on citizens, based on the principles of volume, fairness and access. In all agreements, we are applying a differentiated cost model for high, middle and low / medium-low income countries. Those with high and middle income will pay more than those with low income, but at a significantly discounted value from our normal benchmarks given the global emergency situation. Low- and middle-income countries will pay a non-profit price, ”Finnish Päivi Kerkola, CEO of Pfizer Italia, said in an interview today with Repubblica .
