Yes it's a big pharmacy company and unlike astra zenica from oxford who are selling it at cost price of $2 they sell each shot at $32 approx . But that what they make money from I suppose. I'm quite proud our country is offering cost price vaccines to the rest of the world.

Yes, I read it in the blurb when I was about to have my flu shot for the first time in October. Pfizer also make Tofacitinib JAK oral RA therapy/tablets and Sulphasalazine tablets too (my first RA med) and also Depo Medrone which is what they often give you as the steroid intra joint injection if you don’t have the Kenalog one. I’ve had a few Pfizers, including the vaccine yesterday. Pfizer also make the Prevnar pneumonia vaccine.

That’s what made me pleased to have the Pfizer vaccine, I’ve been stabbing myself with Enbrel then Benepali all these past years and I’m still going, creaky of a morning but still going. M x

In fact if you check I think you will find the majority of Influenza vaccines used all over the world are produced in China these days.

The flu vaccine is different every year...depending which virus is present in the Southern Hemisphere last year.....we get it this year!

Not what you're looking for?
