The western Michigan city where the first US doses of a coronavirus vaccine were manufactured is about to get another leading role in fighting the pandemic. <\/p>\n
Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer is to announce Monday that it will add 250 new jobs to its 1,300-acre Portage manufacturing facility as part of a $ 120 million investment to boost production of its antiviral COVID-19 pill Paxlovid.<\/p>\n
The factory, which is in Kalamazoo County, will be the sole US manufacturer of the active ingredients and starting materials Pfizer uses to make Paxlovid, Mike McDermott, the company’s chief global supply officer, told the Free Press in an exclusive interview.<\/p>\n
