The facility is constructed for production of late-stage (Phase 3) clinical trial supplies for Janssen’s current investigational vaccines, including vaccines targeting HIV, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), Ebola, and a universal Influenza vaccine.
Pending regulatory approvals, the facility will also be ready to manufacture the first batches of these vaccines for real-world use.
