The Minister of Health of the Nation, Carla Vizzotti, and the presidential adviser Cecilia Nicolini are currently in London, where they will talk with authorities of the Anglo-Swedish laboratory AstraZeneca to carry out all the production of their vaccine in Argentina.So far, the active ingredient is produced in the mAbxience laboratory that is then sent to Mexico to finish the packaging process.
During the trip, we will meet with ministers @sajidjavid, @nadhimzahawi and @morton_wendy, as well as scientists from @UniofOxford to analyze strategies for the production of vaccines, new variants, reinforcements and clinical trials in children and adolescents. – Cecilia Nicolini (@cecilianicolini)

It is a similar process to that of Sputnik V only the other way around, since the Richmond laboratory receives the active product from Russia and finishes the filtering and packaging process at its Malvinas Argentinas plant.” AstraZeneca’s full production in Argentina is being evaluated. We are seeing if not only the active ingredient is produced, but what is called ‘full cycle’,” Sonia Tarragona, chief of staff of the Ministry of Health, told Radio Continental.
Both argentine government leaders, key to the acquisition of vaccines in the last year, will meet with British government officials and will also visit the Wellcome Sange institute to meet with local scientists. Finally, Tarragona explained that the breach of contract by AstraZeneca will be part of the talks, which is why a criminal case was opened in Argentina.
