Novavax vaccine to be made on Teesside

89% efficacy too, doesn’t work on SA variant though. Still, another good weapon in the fight!

Keep the positives coming !

edit: misread, it does work so even better!

Good news that the @Novavax vaccine has proved effective in UK trials. Thank you to all the volunteers who made these results possible.

Our medicines regulator will now assess the vaccine, which will be made in Teesside. If approved, we have 60m doses on order.



From Boris' twitter.
It's great news but can we stop calling him by his christian name alone as if he's our mate or something.
 
NY Times has an article saying only 49% efficacy on SA variant but only a small test carried out....
 
This is good news if true, but I'm sure I read that BJ had announced on his trip to Scotland that it would be made in Livingston. Maybe I was not paying full attention.
 
Is this the new site on the grounds of the old Ag Div office I wonder?

It would be good to bring in more pharmaceutical production to the area, there's acres of brownfield space available for redevelopment.
 
My first ever job was on that plant, before it was even fujifilm! I actually applied to go back last year. Sadly didn’t get the job. That would have been an interesting place to work
There's some really interesting sounding jobs there! I was hoping to get lucky and work there when quitting offshore. Fujifilm sponsor my son's football club, so they're all good to me!
 
I deliver to Fuji on a regular basis. They seem to be expanding with the new build across the road, maybe good news on the job front.
