Discontinued Vaccine Means Local Layoffs
800 Positions Affected at Wyeth's Marietta Facility
POSTED: 12:19 p.m. EST November 19, 2002

LANCASTER, Pa. -- Wyeth announced Tuesday that it will cease production of two of its vaccine products, one of which, FluShield, is manufactured in Lancaster County. In an internal memo, sent to TheWGALChannel.com, Wyeth said 800 positions at the Marietta facility will be affected. The company said that it is deciding what will happen to those 800 people. The company said it will continue to develop Cold Adapted Influenza Vaccine at the Marietta facility, as well as continuing production of antivenin and the smallpox vaccine. Wyeth said adequate supplies of injectable flu vaccine are now available in the United States as a result of recent capacity increases provided by other manufacturers. Wyeth said it will pursue new flu immunization technologies. Copyright 2002 by TheWGALChannel.com. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

 "A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth." -- Albert Einstein, letter to a friend, 1901 "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C. Jarvis, September 28, 1820 "What's the point of vaccination if it doesn't protect you from the unvaccinated?" -- Sandy Gottstein "Who gets to decide what the greater good is and how many will be sacrificed to it?" -- Sandy Gottstein |
