Moderna Finalizes 10-Year Agreement With UK Government For mRNA Vaccine Manufacturing Centre

Moderna Inc MRNA has finalized a strategic partnership with the U.K. government to establish an mRNA vaccine research, development, and manufacturing facility in the U.K.
This milestone follows the agreement in principle between Moderna and the UK Government, announced in June 2022.
