Denmark aims to start local production of coronavirus vaccines in 2022, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has said, after previously expressing concern over the European Union's handling of vaccine procurement.
A new plant to produce vaccines will be owned and operated by the private sector and a tendering process and will be announced in a few weeks, she told Danish media.
“We would like to ensure greater security of vaccine supplies on Danish soil,” Frederiksen said. “We see vaccines as part of Denmark's overall preparedness and thus as critical infrastructure.”
