Vaccines are one of the greatest public health advancements of all time, resulting in the control, elimination, or near-elimination of numerous infectious diseases that were once pervasive and often fatal. Pfizer has a rich history in vaccine research and development and have designed novel vaccines based on new delivery systems and technologies that have resulted in vaccines that prevent bacterial, vector, and viral borne diseases. Over the years, we've played a pivotal role in eliminating or nearly eliminating deadly infectious diseases like smallpox and polio globally.
