Canada take another step towards producing home-grown vaccines

BY , Jun 22, 2021 7:30 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Canada is another step closer to producing home-grown vaccines.

Construction is complete at the Biologics Manufacturing Centre in Montreal, which will be able to produce about 24-million COVID-19 vaccine doses a year.

The National Research Council of Canada is working with Novavax to produce a vaccine there.

Equipment is still being installed and the site is not yet fully licensed and operational.

Federal Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne made the announcement today regarding the Biologics Manufacturing Centre, which is located on the National Research Council of Canada's Royalmount site.
