Pfizer cost-savings campaign reaches Ireland, where 100 production workers will lose jobs

Pfizer’s $3.5 billion cost-savings drive has made its way overseas.

After job cuts hit several sites in the U.S., the pharma giant is reducing the headcount at one of its Irish manufacturing plants in Newbridge, Kildare, by 100 employees. The staffers worked on production of Pfizer’s COVID-19 antiviral Paxlovid, the company confirmed in an emailed statement.
