ROVI and Moderna received a visit from Pedro Sánchez this weekend at the ROVI manufacturing plant in Granada, to see the start-up of a new production line for the active ingredient of the mRNA vaccine at this facility.
The President of the Government, together with the Minister of Health, Consumer Affairs and Social Welfare, Carolina Darias, and the Mayor of the city, Francisco Cuenca, were able to tour the facilities accompanied by Juan López-Belmonte, President and CEO of ROVI; Miguel Ángel Ortega, Industrial Director of ROVI; and Juan Carlos Gil, Managing Director of Moderna.
For the first time, a Spanish facility has the potential to not only fill the vials, but to run the entire production of a messenger RNA vaccine, which puts the country in a “key” position in the fight against the pandemic, President Sánchez stressed.
