Prevnar 13 vaccine Approved for Child Infections, become Pfizer’s top revenue generator

[Guest guest]

Have we any doubt that large-N studies of vaccinated vs

unvaccinated (re: Prevnar 13) will be insisted upon by the FDA, HHS, and

ACIP? After all, what's more important, Pfizer revenues or

vaccination safety?

Vaccine Approved for Child

Infections

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved Prevnar 13, an

expanded version of a vaccine to protect children against more forms of

bacterial infections that can cause meningitis, pneumonia and other

diseases. Health officials say such infections cause a million deaths a

year in developing countries and dozens of deaths in the United States,

along with ear infections in millions of infants.

Prevnar 13, from the drug giant Pfizer, adds protection against six types

of bacteria to a current product, Prevnar 7, increasing its coverage to

more than 90 percent of pneumococcal disease rather than the current

product’s 80 percent coverage.

Prevnar 7 had worldwide sales approaching $3 billion, making it one of

the Pfizer’s best-selling drugs, and Credit Suisse analysts predict

Prevnar 13 will exceed $5 billion in sales by 2014. Pfizer is counting on

it to become the company’s top revenue generator after its flagship drug,

the cholesterol fighter Lipitor, loses patent protection next

year...
