Novartis extends contract to manufacture Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines

Novartis intends to purchase bulk mRNA active ingredient from BioNTech and fill it into sterile vials for shipment back to BioNTech for distribution.

Novartis has agreed to expand its fill-and-finish support for the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine by using manufacturing facilities in Ljubljana, Slovenia, to fill at least 24 million doses in 2022, according to the Swiss drugmaker.

Novartis intends to purchase bulk mRNA active ingredient from BioNTech and fill it into sterile vials for shipment back to BioNTech for distribution.

This new agreement builds on an earlier agreement for the fill and finish of more than 50 million doses at the Novartis Stein site in Switzerland in 2021.
