Company Profile:  For over a century, Sanofi Pasteur has been committed to protect life through vaccination. We believe in a world where no one suffers or dies from a vaccine-preventable disease. Our vaccines help protect as many as half a billion lives every year against life-threatening infectious diseases at every stage of life. With our 15,000 employees worldwide, we seek to extend the protective power of vaccination to new infectious diseases while continuously improving existing vaccines to enhance health and well-being.

Sanofi Pasteur is the world’s largest manufacturer of influenza vaccines. In 2018, we completed a production of around 200 million doses of seasonal influenza vaccine, for both Southern and Northern hemispheres, i.e. approximately 40% of influenza vaccines distributed worldwide.
