WHO working on proposals to expand COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing capacity

Moscow: The World Health Organization (WHO) is working on proposals to expand COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing capacity, the organization’s chief scientist, Soumya Swaminathan, said on Monday.
“The WHO along with the partners in COVAX, that’s CEPI, Gavi, UNICEF, but also others like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Bank, have now been working on a proposal to really expand manufacturing capacity for vaccines … in areas of the world where is little or no capacity just now, because what we’ve seen in this pandemic is that there is a massive imbalance in the global supply chains,” Swaminathan said during a press briefing.(Sputnik)
