Taiwan says it is discussing making COVID-19 vaccines for U.S. firms
- 3 years ago
Taiwan is in talks with U.S. companies about making their COVID-19 vaccines, following similar talks with European firms, Health Minister Chen Shih-chung said on Saturday.
Taiwan, like much of the world, has been trying to speed up its vaccination programme following a spike in domestic cases, but has been stymied by global supply shortages.
Chen told reporters that they previously had talks with European companies he did not name about producing their vaccines under licence.
"Only recently have we started to have talks with U.S. companies, to see if it's possible or not to carry out relevant subcontracting work," he added, without providing details.
