Premier Gladys Berejiklian has announced her government will be taking steps to make NSW a centre for ongoing MRNA vaccine research and manufacture.
The premier said NSW would build up a team of people led by NSW Chief Scientist and Engineer Hugh Durrant-Whyte and would collaborate with universities.
