Egypt-based Holding Company for Biological Products and Vaccines (VACSERA) is negotiating with China’s Sinovac Biotech Ltd over the establishment of an integrated plant for the production of vaccines, Al-Borsa News reported on January 4th.

According to VACSERA’s 2022 business wrap-up report, the company produced around 50 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine VACSERA-SINOVAC.
