Moderna, Novavax to produce more COVID-19 vaccines in S.Korea

13 Sept 12:27 Key points summarised by AI

Moderna and Novavax finalized agreements with the South Korean government to manufacture COVID-19 vaccines locally, addressing South Korea's urgent need for faster vaccine deliveries.
These deals stem from a comprehensive partnership between U.S. President Biden and South Korean President Moon, aiming to combine U.S. vaccine expertise with South Korean production capacity.
Moderna's vaccine will be produced by Samsung Biologics, while Novavax expands its collaboration with SK Bioscience, solidifying South Korea's emergence as a global vaccine manufacturing base.
The initiative supports South Korea's ambitious goal of inoculating at least 70% of its 52 million people by September, leveraging increased domestic production capabilities.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
