Pfizer, Moderna-style vaccines could soon be made in Melbourne
21 April 2021 - Pfizer and Moderna-style vaccines could soon be made in Melbourne, as the Victorian government has committed $50 million towards establishing a facility to manufacture mRNA coronavirus vaccines domestically.
The mRNA coronavirus vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna have continually yielded strong results in clinical trials, with growing evidence suggesting they will be much easier to reconfigure to cover new viral variants than more conventional inoculations such as AstraZeneca’s, which is being made in Australia by CSL.
