High-tech vaccines will now be made in Australia under a 10-year partnership to become “more self-reliant”.  

The Prime Minister this morning announced the deal with Moderna had been finalised and will see a manufacturing facility built in Victoria.

Once operational, the facility will be able to produce up to 100 million vaccine doses every year.

Speaking to the media in Victoria, Anthony Albanese said the deal was borne out of lessons learned from the pandemic.

“We need to be more resilient and more self-reliant, we need to make more things here, we can’t continue to assume that it’s OK to be at the end of global supply chains,” he said.

“We have become complacent for a long period of time, that it was OK for us to just meander along. It’s not.

“We need to make sure that we commercialise our science and extract full benefit for our nation.”
