*This Form 10-Q includes discussion of the COVID-19 vaccine that Pfizer has co-developed with BioNTech (BNT162b2) and our oral COVID-19 treatment (Paxlovid). The vaccine may be referred to by its brand name, Comirnaty (approved under a BLA in the U.S.), or as BNT162b2 (authorized under EUA in the U.S.). The vaccine is FDA-approved to prevent COVID-19 in individuals 12 years of age and older. In addition, Comirnaty/BNT162b2 is authorized for emergency use by the FDA for individuals 6 months of age and older, as a third dose for certain immunocompromised individuals 5 years of age and older, as a booster dose for individuals 5 years of age and older and as a second booster dose for individuals 50 years of age and older and for certain immunocompromised individuals 12 years of age and older. Paxlovid is authorized for emergency use by the FDA under an EUA for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg [88 lbs]) with positive results of direct SARS CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high-risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death. The emergency uses are only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of the medical product under Section 564(b)(1) of the FFDCA unless the declaration is terminated or authorization revoked sooner. The FDA has issued EUAs to certain other companies for products intended for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 and may continue to do so during the duration of the Declaration. See the EUA Fact Sheets at www.cvdvaccine-us.com and www.covid19oralrx.com.

This Form 10-Q includes discussion of certain clinical studies relating to various in-line products and/or product candidates. These studies typically are part of a larger body of clinical data relating to such products or product candidates, and the discussion herein should be considered in the context of the larger body of data. In addition, clinical trial data are subject to differing interpretations, and, even when we view data as sufficient to support the safety and/or effectiveness of a product candidate or a new indication for an in-line product, regulatory authorities may not share our views and may require additional data or may deny approval altogether.

Some amounts in this Form 10-Q may not add due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their owners.
