Australia could begin local production of Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines within six to 12 months, an international biotech company says — but such a scheme would depend on approvals and investment.

BioCina said its proposal would heavily depend on federal government investment and a licensing deal with major producers of mRNA vaccines.

"There's a lot of ifs here. The big if frankly is — is the government able to licence this technology from Moderna or Pfizer, the two leading mRNA vaccine companies?" he said. Executive director of the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute Steve Wesselingh said securing approval would be a significant step towards coronavirus vaccine self-sufficiency in Australia.
