It takes time to expand an existing plant or open a new one. Eg Some French investment of June 2020 has yet to come online.

The UK benefited from government investment in vaccine production before last year. We got ahead of the game.

I’m still not sure what that has to do with the point I’ve made.

It does indeed take time to expand plants and capacity. Which is why more people doing it would be beneficial.

There is a block on anyone other than the candidate vaccine manufacturers (or anyone doing so under licence) from producing any of their own vaccines. As I say it’s industry standard.
