Spice Up Your Life with Homemade Pumpkin Spice: No Bake Pie | SaltWire #shortsvideo #cookingshorts - Pfizer, which dominated COVID vaccine sales, now finds itself looking up at GSK, whose rival new respiratory syncytial virus vaccine has surged to an early lead since the shots launched this summer.

Price may also be playing a role, according to independent pharmacists. GSK's lists at a slight discount. Link said CVS is the nation's largest retail buyer of pharmaceuticals and"they get a better price by consolidating their purchases." Pfizer is also contending with weaker-then-expected demand for its COVID-19 vaccine and its antiviral treatment Paxlovid, which led it to slash 2023 sales estimates and announce a cost cutting program.CVS, which has more than 9,000 U.S. locations, declined to comment on why it was only carrying GSK's vaccine. The company said it hopes to offer Pfizer's Abrysvo as a maternal RSV vaccine once it has updated internal pharmacy systems and training"sometime next month.

It was not immediately clear how many RSV shots were being administered in pharmacies versus doctors' offices. About 60% of adult flu shots were given at pharmacies in the U.S. in the 2022-33 flu season, according to government data. A Pfizer spokesperson directed questions about what CVS is carrying to that company, but added:"We are actively working to contract with all large pharmacy chains and have ample supply of Abrysvo." It has released 3.2 million doses of the vaccine.
