Pfizer Will Supply Poorer Nations With 4 Million Covid Antiviral Treatments Through UNICEF

Pfizer will supply up to 4 million courses of its oral Covid-19 treatment to dozens of poorer nations under an agreement with the United Nations Children’s Fund, the company announced Tuesday.

Pfizer expects to start supplying the antiviral pills, Paxlovid, to UNICEF beginning next month and will continue to do so through the end of the year, according to the company.

The company would not disclose the financial terms of the agreement when asked by CNBC.
