Newspaper report by Erin Lyons dated 17th May 2020 about a new manufacturing centre in Oxfordshire is getting a multi-million-pound funding boost from the government as part of the race to produce millions of doses of a coronavirus vaccine.
The government will invest up to £93 million to accelerate construction of the Vaccines Manufacturing and Innovation Centre (VMIC) at Harwell Science and Innovation Campus. When completed it will have capacity to produce enough vaccine doses to serve the entire UK population in as little as six months. The funding will ensure the centre opens in summer 2021, a year ahead of schedule.
