Pfizer Inc. to Push Prevnar Vaccine Beyond Large Chinese Cities

Pfizer Inc, the world's largest drug maker, aims to push sales of its Prevenar vaccine for children beyond large Chinese cities in collaboration with partner Shanghai Pharmaceutical and possibly other new partners. "The way to do that is through arrangements with individual cities or some of the provinces that have shown interest in certain other products to establish local programs," Pfizer's global president for vaccines Mark Swindell told Reuters in a telephone interview on Thursday. "We are constantly evaluating the landscape and if we are presented with the opportunity to expand our operations (with) other partners, we will take advantage of that," said Swindell, while on a business trip in Beijing.
