Merck has a well-established Compliance Program that reflects Merck’s longstanding commitment to compliance with the laws and regulations that govern pharmaceutical and vaccine marketing and selling activities in the United States. Merck’s Compliance Program also is consistent with the recommendations set forth in “Compliance Program Guidance for Pharmaceutical Manufacturers,” published by the Office of Inspector General, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (the “HHS-OIG Guidance”) and the provisions of the Code on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals created by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (“PhRMA Code”). The goal of Merck’s Compliance Program has always been to maintain a culture that promotes the prevention, detection and resolution of potential violations of law or Company policy.
