Morocco Set to Produce Domestic Covid-19 Vaccines by Year’s End
Morocco will soon proceed with the manufacture and filling of anti-Covid-19 vaccines made in Morocco. The first doses of the precious product, the result of the collaboration between the Chinese laboratory Sinopharm, the origin of the vaccine of the same name, and its Moroccan counterpart Sothema, are announced for next December.
This step has been awaited since August 2020, the date of the signing of a partnership agreement with China for the production in Morocco, of vaccines and biological therapy drugs, as well as other serums, reports Al Ahdath Al Maghribia, adding that as part of the partnership linking the laboratories of the two countries, a delegation of Chinese experts is expected in the second half of November in the Sothema facilities, the vaccine production site, for an evaluation of the equipment and the organization of the reception of the raw materials to be used.
The Sothema laboratories have a production capacity of 5 million doses per month for the moment, with the possibility of greater capacity in the years to come.
