About the Company

Pfizer

Makes cancer drugs, vaccines and other medicines

Pfizer discovers, makes, and sells prescription medicines and vaccines for patients, doctors, and governments worldwide, with large businesses in vaccines, cancer, heart disease, and rare diseases. In 2020, its COVID-19 shot, developed with German partner BioNTech, became the first COVID-19 vaccine authorized in the United States. Its scientists find drug candidates and run clinical trials to prove they are safe and effective, and Pfizer then manufactures approved products in its own plants, earning most of its money from patented drugs before cheaper generic copies arrive. Pfizer was founded in 1849 as a chemicals business in Brooklyn and is based in New York City.
