Pfizer plans $3.5B in cost cuts as sales of Covid products continue to slide

Pfiz­er con­firmed late Fri­day that it will launch a com­pa­ny-wide cost-cut­ting pro­gram this year and next as sales of the drug­mak­er’s Covid vac­cine and an­tivi­ral slide.

The an­nounce­ment came as the US gov­ern­ment and the drug­mak­er on Fri­day af­ter­noon re­vised terms of their sup­ply agree­ment for Paxlovid. Un­der the terms, the gov­ern­ment is re­turn­ing large num­bers of dos­es that had been dis­trib­uted around the coun­try as ac­cess to the drug switch­es from an emer­gency, gov­ern­ment run-ef­fort to one run through the com­mer­cial mar­kets.
