Sanofi plans to spend $550 million on a vaccine-manufacturing facility in Neuville-sur-Saône, France, a 5-year project ­expected to create 200 full-time jobs. Sanofi will also invest $135 million in an R&D facility in Marcy-l’Étoile. Geared toward meeting production needs in any future pandemics, the plant will feature a central unit housing several modules that can make 3–4 vaccines simultaneously. Sanofi and GlaxoSmithKline announced in April that they are collaborating on the development of an adjuvanted COVID-19 vaccine, for which the French firm will contribute an antigen based on recombinant DNA technology.
