15 November 2020 - A state-of-the-art facility focusing on producing vaccines for things like COVID-19 and snake bites will be built in Melbourne starting next year.
Vaccines for the flu, future pandemics and anti-venom for deadly snake and spider bites will be mass produced on Australian shores in a new $1 billion state-of-the-art facility.
The hi-tech vaccine plant will begin construction in Melbourne from next year, guaranteeing Australia will be able to locally produce lifesaving drugs until at least 2036.
