General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

|---|---|---|
| Merck | 319 | $1,219,156 |
| Pfizer | 84 | $238,570 |
| Biontech SE | 24 | $15,615 |

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
