Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 " Vaccine sales buoy Wyeth " By Bowe in New York Published: July 20 2006 18:46 | Last updated: July 20 2006 18:46 Wyeth on Thursday showed signs that renewed interest in vaccines is paying off for drugmakers, as booming sales of its Prevnar vaccine helped lift quarterly profits 18 per cent. The US drugmaker reported strong growth worldwide and suggested a bright future in international markets for Prevnar, a vaccine to prevent pneumonia in children. Prevnar sales jumped 60 per cent to $518m, helped by its introduction into the UK's immunisation programme.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 The CEO of Wyeth was interviewed on CNBC and said in so many words that Prevnar was their single most important source of revenue and without it they would be in big trouble. This followed by the usual drug company talk of how to widen their market backed by " research " that they are sponsoring. If sleaze this brazen attracts no attention to what is really going on I am not sure what will. > > " Vaccine sales buoy Wyeth " > > By Bowe in New York > > Published: July 20 2006 18:46 | Last updated: July 20 2006 18:46 > > Wyeth on Thursday showed signs that renewed interest in vaccines is > paying off for drugmakers, as booming sales of its Prevnar vaccine > helped lift quarterly profits 18 per cent. > > The US drugmaker reported strong growth worldwide and suggested a > bright future in international markets for Prevnar, a vaccine to > prevent pneumonia in children.
