Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said mRNA vaccines have proven to be the “biggest scientific discovery” over the course of the pandemic.
Moderna could be pumping out millions of doses of vaccines in Victoria by 2024 under an in-principle agreement with the federal and state governments.
“They are a big part, a massive part of the future of vaccines not just here in the country, but all around the world,” Mr Morrison said.
“We welcome the partnership both with Moderna and the Victorian state government to make this happen over 10 years.”
