South Africa's Aspen Pharmacare wants to model itself on India's Serum Institute by getting a licence to manufacture Johnson & Johnson's (J&J) Covid-19 vaccine, Aspen Chief Executive Stephen Saad said on Thursday.
"At the moment, J&J could take all the product we make because it's their product, and sell it to Europe, for example, sell it to the US or Korea, wherever they choose to. We have no say in that," he told Reuters.
"It's like Serum where they get the licences to manufacture. It's not a foreign model and it's very exciting," he said on the licensing talks.
