The facility, located in Dessau, Germany, will go back to producing Takeda’s dengue vaccine candidate after a three-month period. 

Takeda has agreed to help manufacture three different COVID-19 vaccines. The drugmaker has already begun manufacturing Moderna and Novavax vaccines to provide rapid and sustained COVID-19 vaccine access in Japan.
