The Philadelphia, PA manufacturing site is the home of FluMist, the world's only nasally administered influenza vaccine. The site consists of two geographic locations - a facility at Red Lion Road in NE Philadelphia has about 135 full-time employees and the Bensalem storage and distribution facility has about 6 employees. FluMist is aseptically filled and packaged at the Philadelphia location and is stored for final distribution at the Bensalem location. The facilities are about 8 miles apart and both are situated close to I-95, the city of Philadelphia, and Philadelphia International Airport. Our product is sold in multiple countries, including the US and UK. Operations continue year-round, with the FluMist production campaign being in the summer (typically April-August). Our site is highly collaborative, and we show our Philly pride in all we do. We work closely together, always striving to be better every day. We have a network of employee teams who deliver various employee engagement activities. From our famous Wingbowl, to inclusion events, site celebrations, community outreach, and health and wellness activities, there's something for everyone.
