Cobra Biologics has been producing pharaceuticals for more than 20 years. It has two facilities on Keele University’s Science and Innovation Park making the vaccine in a partnership with the global pharmaceutical giant.
The production agreement is part of a programme with the University of Oxford to ensure the not-for-profit worldwide supply of the vaccine during the pandemic.
Cobra, along with other consortium members, is providing large-scale manufacturing capacity for the vaccine.
