Social

At Pfizer, our purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients’ lives—is rooted in achieving social good. We know that when we succeed, our breakthroughs can potentially have life-changing effects. We aim to be the solution for illnesses from widespread infectious diseases to conditions with historically unmet need.

Pfizer is mindful of the urgency of our mission, as the world fights against the spread of deadly new diseases and struggles with inequities in health outcomes among populations. Our goal is to leverage partnerships and programs to allow quick and widespread access to our breakthrough medicines and vaccines across all corners of the world.
