A ‘virtual VMIC’ will be created to rapidly expand the UK capacity to manufacture a COVID-19 vaccine. VMIC’s permanent facility, currently being built, will be fast tracked to come online in Summer 2021 – a year ahead of schedule. Manufacturing output at the permanent facility will be scaled-up 20fold to ensure enough doses of a pandemic vaccine for the UK population within 4-6 months of opening.
