Pharmacies should contact wholesalers about Prevenar


Additional quantities, still scarce

The company explains when asked: “In recent weeks, the demand for pneumococcal vaccines for adults has risen far above the usual level. Pfizer has therefore already delivered additional quantities of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine Prevenar 13 to the German market. In order to maintain delivery availability, Pfizer is currently limiting the order quantities in Germany according to the usual need for this vaccine. Pfizer is in close contact with the regulatory authorities to prioritize care for patients at increased risk of infectious diseases. “

Pfizer apparently does not care about the distribution itself, that is, who gets how much, because according to the company, doctors and pharmacists who want to order Prevenar 13 could contact the pharmaceutical wholesaler – they are probably not getting anything directly at the moment. Wholesale is actually the usual and also the more convenient way. Unfortunately, he currently does not know when he will get something, as you hear from pharmacists. Only pre-orders are possible. When and to what extent these are then supplied is completely unclear.
