Assemblyman Wieder Tours Pfizer’s State of the Art Pearl River Campus

Assemblyman Aron Wieder (D-Spring Valley) recently toured Pfizer’s Vaccine Research and Development Center located in Pearl River. Along with other regional elected officials, Wieder participated in an interactive showcase of Pfizer’s School of Science programming.

“The impact Pfizer has had on New York and the global community is immense and its contribution in advancing lifesaving vaccines is invaluable,” said Wieder. “Centered on immunization vaccine development and manufacturing, Pfizer has played a key role in addressing public health concerns. We must continue to invest in biomedical education to inspire future innovators, scientists, and infectious disease leaders of the future.”

The interactive walk around the Pearl River campus highlighted Pfizer’s manufacturing laboratories focused on vaccine development and production and its clinical trial processes. Wieder noted that getting to tour their first-in-class labs gave him a direct look at why Pfizer is a leading employer in the district and how their work is a testament to how far biomedical sciences in New York has come.
