NI pharma firm Almac’s role in Covid-19 vaccine
BBC.com
Almac, the Northern Ireland pharmaceutical firm, is playing a role in the clinical trials of the first effective Covid-19 vaccine.
On Monday, Pfizer and BioNTech said preliminary results showed it can prevent more than 90% of people from getting the virus. Almac’s clinical services division provides clinical trials support to BioNTech. It involves things like distribution, labelling and temperature management. The vaccine has been tested on 43,500 people in six countries. It has to be kept in ultra-cold storage at below minus 80C – Almac’s hardware and software is used to maintain this temperature requirement.
President and CEO, Dr. R. Scott Stephenson, was just announced as one of Philadelphia Business Journal’s Most Admired CEOs. Additionally, the Business Journal has honored AmRev’s Chief Operating Officer, ZeeAnn Mason, as a 2020 Woman of Distinction.
The Women of Distinction list will run in Friday’s print edition, and the Most Admired CEOs will be featured on December 11. The Museum is one of only three organizations – and the only not-for-profit – represented on both lists. And these honors join numerous awards the Museum received in 2020 for its special exhibits and educational programs, including three from PA Museums and one from the American Association of State and Local History.
As part of their Veterans Day Weekend celebration sponsored by Comcast NBCUniversal, Museum admission will be free this Wednesday through Sunday for those currently serving in the military, veterans, and Blue Star families. Join them at the Museum, or enjoy digital resources like their 360-degree virtual tour.
