Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment she has made of the potential effect of developing a UK vaccine research and manufacturing centre with Moderna on preparedness for future pandemics.
In June 2022, the Government agreed heads of terms with Moderna to create a strategic partnership over the next decade. A full contract is being negotiated with Moderna, subject to approval of a full business case.
