Pfizer and International Trachoma Initiative Deliver One Billionth Zithromax® Dose Toward Trachoma Elimination by 2030

Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and the International Trachoma Initiative (ITI), a program of the independent nonprofit Task Force for Global Health, today announced the donation of the one billionth Zithromax® (azithromycin) dose as part of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommended S.A.F.E. strategy to help prevent and treat trachoma.

Donation of the one billionth dose builds on Pfizer’s June 2022 commitment to extend its antibiotic donation program through 2030, helping to enable 18 countries to continue trachoma elimination programs in 2023 and beyond. The WHO’s Neglected Tropical Diseases Roadmap has set a global elimination goal of 2030, which has already been achieved in 15 countries.
