Why bother?Can I ask a question - should we be building more VMIC facilities in the UK for vaccine (and mAB etc. etc.) production:
Home - VMIC
Leading a new era in vaccine development, to protect and improve lives in the UK and beyond. Find out how we can help you.www.vmicuk.com
Perhaps one South Wales, one North East, one Glasgow, one Ireland (somewhere straddling the border)
Can I also ask to answer that from a pure engineering view, and not political etc. (Otherwise I'm on the wrong forum here)
Ignoring the politics, the Indian plants make perfectly good pharmaceutical products which we use all the time. Obviously it would save on transport if they were made locally, but I suppose it depends on what raw materials might then need to be brought in to make the end product. The end product is small and light to ship.
Obviously it might have made sense to build plants locally months ago to have enough product, but why local and not abroad is a political question.
