Once Emergency Use approved, in the first few days of President Biden's time in office, additional funding was accepted by Pfizer from the US gov't to expedite and increase both their logistical, distribution and manufacturing capabilities.
The Pfizer vaccine requires deep cold storage at all links in its distribution channel that did not really exist in the quantities required at the time.
