EMA’s human medicines committee (CHMP) has approved a scale up of manufacturing of Vaxzevria (previously COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca). An existing manufacturing site operated by Universal Farma in Guadalajara, Spain, will add a second filling line for the finished product.
This change is expected to support the continued supply of Vaxzevria, including for donations to third countries through the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) initiative.
This recommendation does not require a European Commission decision and the change can become operational immediately.
