ORDERING INFORMATION

How can I place an order or check the status of an order?
  • To place an order or check the status of an existing order, call Customer Service at 1-844-646-4398
  • Order products now by visiting Pfizer Prime
When will I be able to order direct again?

Your representative will keep you informed with the most up-to-date information. However, we have asked customers to begin placing orders via the wholesaler/distributor channel instead of direct via Pfizer Prime or Pfizer Hospital US Customer Service to restock supply to the market as quickly as possible. There are a small number of products available via direct order, and your Pfizer Sales Representative can send you the list. We will evaluate this interim ordering process on an ongoing basis and communicate any changes as they are implemented.

Why is recovery delayed?

Recovery is delayed for 2 reasons:

  • Technical/manufacturing issues and capacity constraints
    • Technical/manufacturing issues are causing backorders to grow, as remediation efforts have not met our initial timelines to meet demand. As the team worked through a remediation issue, what was thought to be a corrective action did not satisfy regulatory requirements and, therefore, did not resolve the issue to Pfizer's quality standards. Therefore, the team had to work on additional corrective actions, which caused the timeline to be delayed to ensure proper remediation efforts. We will continue to bring in additional internal and external resources to assist in evaluating and resolving technical issues as needed to meet demand with our best manufacturing capabilities
  • Capacity constraints have increased due to many products being in short supply, as well as the time needed to restore inventory
    • As we progress through our recovery and issues are resolved, capacity will become the main driver of backorders, as it takes time to restore inventory levels when completing both backorders and new orders concurrently. We will continue to work to get more products to our customers as manufacturing batches are completed
What are your plans to avoid supply shortages in the future?

We are committed to our supply-shortage recovery plan. Our long-term plan includes 3 key elements to minimize supply shortages in the future—investment of several hundred million dollars planned for compliance and manufacturing capabilities over the next 3 years, a plan to increase safety stock levels of medically necessary and other key products, and a focus on communications infrastructure and organizational preparedness.
