Managing everyday health should be simple, and when someone's not feeling well, it's even more important for them to have access to the essentials they need from the comfort of home.
Today, Pfizer introduced PfizerForAll™, a digital platform for consumers that helps simplify access to healthcare. As part of the launch, Instacart is proud to be Pfizer's same-day delivery partner, leveraging the power and reach of our marketplace to deliver COVID-19 and flu tests to consumers in as fast as an hour. Pfizer tapped Instacart to support the PfizerForAll launch because we can seamlessly deliver health essentials to over 98% of U.S. households. Our extensive network of more than 85,000 local, regional, and national stores helps ensure that when people are under the weather, they don't have to leave home to get what they need to recover.
As we transition into fall and winter, with colder weather, more time spent indoors, and the threat of another "tripledemic" of influenza, RSV, and COVID-19, our integration with PfizerForAll helps ease the challenges of managing an illness. Our collaboration connects people with essential diagnostic tests, allowing them to quickly identify the cause of their symptoms and discuss a care or treatment plan with their doctor. Whether it's a two-in-one molecular COVID-19 and flu test that can deliver results in just 30 minutes, a reliable cold remedy, or other sick day essentials, by teaming up, PfizerForAll and Instacart are providing a convenient solution that allows patients to rest, recuperate, and focus on what matters most - their health.
