USA Today: Pfizer Expects To Cut
COVID-19 Vaccine Production Time By Almost 50%
Pfizer expects to nearly cut in half the amount of time it takes to produce a
batch of COVID-19 vaccine from 110 days to an average of 60 as it makes the
process more efficient and production is built out, the company told USA TODAY.
As the nation revs up its vaccination programs, the increase could help relieve
bottlenecks caused by vaccine shortages. "We call this 'Project Light
Speed,' and it's called that for a reason," said Chaz Calitri, Pfizer's
vice president for operations for sterile injectables, who runs the company's
plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan. "Just in the last month we've doubled
output." (Weise, 2/7)
