The book by Pfizer's chairman and CEO on Pfizer's incredible race to create the vaccine

Albert Bourla's statements on the fourth dose of the coronavirus vaccine, last week coincided with the release in Greek of the Greek chairman and CEO of Pfizer's book on how he created the first vaccine for the virus and his company's incredible race to the top.

On Thursday, March 10, his book, Moonshot: Pfizer's Incredible Race to Create the Vaccine, was released in Greece by Psychogios Publications. It is the exclusive, first-hand, behind-the-scenes account of Pfizer's race to create the first mRNA vaccine against COVID-19.

A riveting, compelling story about one of the private sector's most significant achievements, MOONSHOT recounts the nine tension-filled months of 2020 when Pfizer scientists, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Albert Bourla, partnered with BioNTech to do the impossible - to develop, test and manufacture an anti-COVID-19 vaccine that previously would have required many years.

Dr. Burla recounts how the brilliant, dedicated people at Pfizer, under the immense pressure of the planetary pandemic, overcame a series of crises amidst social and political turmoil, and reveals the doubts, decisions and obstacles along the way. As Dr. Burla makes clear, Pfizer's success is not due to luck but to good preparation based on four simple values: Courage, Excellence, Equity and Joy.

MOONSHOT is a story about leadership under unprecedented circumstances - how Dr. Bourla, a Greek immigrant and veterinarian, the child of Holocaust survivors, became the head of one of the world's largest organizations and how he introduced radical transformation of the organization before the global health crisis tested the endurance of the organization, its scientists and its head. MOONSHOT outlines best practices that can be leveraged to meet the multiple, unprecedented challenges of our time, and reveals how Pfizer implemented scientific innovations in record time, offering leadership lessons that can help everyone successfully manage seemingly unsolvable problems.
