The US government has reserved vaccine production capacity at this Fujifilm facillity in Texas.

The US government will pay $265 million under its Operation Warp Speed program to reserve capacity for manufacturing COVID-19 vaccines at Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies’ facility in College Station, Texas.

Fujifilm recently signed a deal to manufacture the Novavax vaccine in Morrisville, North Carolina, for clinical trials before transferring production to Texas.
