Pfizer, FDA ease shortage concerns as tornado relief efforts pick up at massive NC injectables plant

Pfizer and the U.S. FDA are picking up the pieces after a violent tornado devastated the drugmaker’s massive North Carolina injectables plant last week. Pfizer on Friday said it kicked off “immediate efforts” to provide relief and repair to the damage caused to its manufacturing facility in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. It noted crews are working around the clock to restore power, assess the structural integrity of the building and to relocate finished medicines to nearby sites for storage.
