COVID-19 vaccines may be produced at Life Science Park
The government has initiated steps to create a facility for the manufacture of vaccines at the Life Science Park located at Thonnakkal here.
The State Cabinet, which met on Wednesday, decided to appoint IAS officer S.Chithra as project director. A working group chaired by K.P.Sudheer, Principal Secretary, Science and Technology, will also be set up. The committee has been authorised to start discussions with companies to get the project off the ground at the earliest.
Dr.Sudheer said the project was envisaged as an integrated facility for mass production of generic vaccines for various diseases. “However, given the current shortage of COVID-19 vaccines, the immediate priority would be this area,” he said.
