The agreement aims to localise the manufacturing of vaccines and vital medicines in the kingdom, said a Saudi Press Agency report.
The 42,000 sq m plant will create around 150 new jobs and aims to achieve 20% export of seasonal flu, COVID-19, chickenpox, and rotavirus vaccines, in addition to pneumococcal and meningitis vaccines, given the strong demand for Saudi pharmaceutical exports in the Gulf and regional countries, the report said. ■
